Using electronic resources to improve HIV prevention for women
Clinic-based HIV Identification and Prevention Project Using Electronic Resources
This study is testing if using electronic forms to gather health information can help women learn more about HIV prevention and encourage them to use a medication called PrEP during their gynecologist visits.

What this trial studies
This project aims to enhance the uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among cis-gender women attending routine gynecologic visits by utilizing electronic medical and sexual history data collection. Forty-two Obgyn providers will be randomized into three groups, where patients will complete an electronic history form prior to their visit. Based on their risk score from the form, patients will receive tailored messages and interventions regarding HIV testing and PrEP options. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions using the RE-AIM framework.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are cis-gender women aged 15-65 attending preventive care visits at participating ObGyn clinics.
Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant with established prenatal care or those already living with HIV will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly increase PrEP uptake among women at risk for HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results in using electronic health interventions to improve PrEP uptake, indicating potential success for this approach.
