National Institutes of Health (NIH) press release
A study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reduced new HIV cases by 70% in rural Kenya and Uganda by pairing digital tools with tailored HIV services delivered by community health workers and clinicians. This successful strategic implementation of existing healthcare infrastructure and available HIV prevention and treatment options could become a model for reducing HIV incidence in other countries, including the United States. The findings were presented at CROI 2026.
The findings from this innovative study underscore the critical value of conducting implementation research that tests HIV prevention and treatment strategies in real world settings.
