Can a phone app help women at risk of HIV start PrEP?
NCT ID NCT06853314
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a mobile health program called WINGS+PrEP for women who have experienced heavy drinking, partner violence, and involvement with the criminal legal system. The program provides information about PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV) and offers support sessions. Researchers want to see if this approach helps more women start and stay on PrEP compared to standard care. The trial will enroll 307 HIV-negative women and follow them for 6 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral intervention (mobile health program with PrEP decision aid and peer navigation)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide an effective way to increase PrEP use and reduce HIV risk among women facing heavy alcohol use and partner violence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so results depend on participant engagement. The trial is relatively small (307 people) and may not apply to all women.
