HIV prevention shot studied in real-world women
NCT ID NCT06145854
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 100 cisgender women in the southern U.S. who are already prescribed long-acting cabotegravir injections (Apretude) for HIV prevention. Over two years, researchers will track how many women stick with the shots, how satisfied they are, and rates of other sexually transmitted infections. The goal is to see how this newer option works outside of clinical trials.
