Mobile text-message support to help people stay on PrEP
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether phone-based (iPhone/Android) text-message support can improve how consistently people use PrEP, an HIV prevention medicine. It may help you stay on track with refills and clinic visits, especially if you’re at higher risk of stopping PrEP.

This study tests a smartphone-based program to help people who use drugs (opioids or stimulants) stay engaged with HIV prevention tools like PrEP. If you are already eligible for PrEP but haven't been using prevention services consistently, this app may help you stay on track.
This study looks at whether people already taking PrEP (a daily pill to prevent HIV) can share HIV self-test kits and PrEP information with friends or others in their social network. It may help you if you are on PrEP and want to help others learn about HIV prevention.
This study tests a '2-1-1' on-demand PrEP strategy for cisgender men who have sex with men. It aims to see if taking PrEP only around the time of sex is safe and effective. If you are interested in starting or currently taking PrEP this way, you may be eligible.
This study helps connect young people aged 13–24 to PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. It tests whether offering PrEP in clinics or community locations makes it easier for you to get and stay on this prevention medication.
This study tests a smartphone program to help HIV-negative men who have sex with men reduce meth use and improve PrEP adherence. It explores whether combining support for both behaviors is more effective than addressing them separately.
