What this trial studies

This interventional study tests a tablet-based Digital PrEP Toolkit designed for cisgender women in the rural Southeast. It measures whether the toolkit can be completed in under 10 minutes, be found useful and easy to use, and lead to higher PrEP uptake. Up to 125 participants at three HIV/STI clinics will complete the toolkit, discuss options with staff, and be followed up at 3 and 6 months to assess PrEP initiation and knowledge changes. The study focuses on feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the digital intervention in increasing PrEP use among the target population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the toolkit could streamline PrEP education and help more women start PrEP.

How similar studies have gone: Other digital health interventions have shown promise in improving HIV prevention knowledge and uptake in similar populations, but this exact toolkit is novel for this setting.
