Using PrEP, Doing It for Ourselves (UPDOs) for HIV Prevention
This study, "Using PrEP, Doing It for Ourselves (UPDOs)," is testing a new online program to help Black cisgender women aged 18 and older in the southeastern United States learn about and start using PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a medicine that helps prevent HIV. The program, UPDOs, uses videos, blogs, and telehealth services, with beauty stylists acting as trusted community leaders. Researchers want to see if UPDOs helps more people trust and understand PrEP, and if it increases the number of people who start and continue using it. This study aims to enroll 1000 participants and is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 1000 participants. It compares two groups: one using the UPDOs program and another receiving standard HIV prevention materials.
- What's involved
- If you join, you would participate in a 6-week web-based video series and debrief blogs, and have access to telehealth services. The primary endpoint is measured at 12 weeks post-intervention.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your PrEP contemplation score will be measured 12 weeks after the intervention.

What this trial measures
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) Contemplation Ladder total score12 weeks post-intervention
The PrEP Contemplation Ladder is a 1-item survey designed to measure Motivational PrEP Cascade (MPC) stages of behavior change that represent one's PrEP intentions by a score of 1-10. Scores correspond to MPC stages. Lower numbers indicate PrEP is not being used to prevent HIV and the participant is not really thinking of ever starting to use PrEP. Higher numbers indicate that PrEP is being used daily and the participant is returning for provider checkups and HIV/STI testing every 3 months, as recommended.
