Description
Brenda Gati Mirembe and a large study team published an HIV prevention study in two thousand twenty-four on young African women. Young women account for two thirds of new HIV infections in Africa. Many start the preventive pill PrEP but take it poorly, which weakens protection.
The INSIGHT project enrolled over three thousand women aged sixteen to thirty at twenty sites in six countries. A quick urine test showed whether the drug had been taken in the past four days. Results were shared at once with tailored counselling at most visits. Nearly all women started PrEP. The study estimated recent adherence after accounting for missed tests, and checked whether earlier feedback raised later adherence.
