Summary

This trial will test a new way to get more black women in the South to test for HIV at home, which could lead to earlier treatment and prevention.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Black women aged 15-59 living in Travis County who haven't tested for HIV/STIs in the past year, had unprotected sex during that time, and can use a smartphone with internet. It's not open to those outside this age range or location, who've been recently tested, always used protection, or lack English fluency.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a web-based intervention aimed at increasing home testing for HIV among Black women at risk. The program encourages self-testing and connects participants to healthcare services and PrEP evaluation to prevent HIV infection.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a digital intervention promoting home testing without direct medical treatment involved, there are no traditional side effects like you'd expect from medication. However, users may experience stress or anxiety related to self-testing.
