This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new HIV prevention education program called Using PrEP, Doing it for Ourselves (UPDOs) that combines trained beauty stylists as trusted health educators with a 6-week series of online videos and blogs. The program is designed specifically for Black women in the Southeast and aims to help them learn about and access PrEP, a preventive medication that reduces HIV risk. Researchers want to see if this approach—which uses storytelling and real-world examples—works better than standard HIV prevention information.
HIV affects Black women in the Southeast at higher rates than other groups, and many people don't have enough accurate information about PrEP or feel uncomfortable discussing it. This trial exists to test whether a community-based approach using trusted people in salons can help more women learn about and feel confident using this medication.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either the new UPDOs program or standard HIV prevention information. If you're in the UPDOs group, you'll watch six 20-minute online videos over 6 weeks that tell stories about people making decisions about PrEP, read blogs about these stories, and have access to a secure telehealth platform to ask questions and get services. Both groups will be asked to share information about your health beliefs and testing patterns. The study involves about 1,000 Black women across the Southeast.
