A Family-Based HIV Prevention Program for Black Men to Protect Black Girls
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The scientific premise of this research is that individual, interpersonal, and structural factors impact Black girls' sexual reproductive health outcomes (sexually transmitted infection (STI) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)) and experience of sexual violence. This study expands STI/HIV prevention programs to include Black male caregivers, a potentially valuable yet underutilized resource to protect Black girls and reduce their exposure to STI/HIV and sexual violence.
