Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

To achieve an AIDS-free generation, there is a critical need for programs which go beyond individual-level behavior change to reduce HIV and STI infections among adolescent girls and young women in sub-Saharan Africa. Informed, Motivated, Aware, and Responsible Adolescents and Adults (IMARA) is an evidence-based HIV-prevention intervention for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and their female caregivers, which has been adapted for a South African audience. The study will test whether AGYW receiving IMARA will have fewer sexually-transmitted infections (STI) and greater acceptance of HIV testing and counseling (HTC) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) at 6-month follow-up compared to AGYW assigned to the health-promotion control intervention.
