SimpPrEP is the name of a research project concerning PrEP use. A decision to participate requires the project’s official participant information sheet. This article is not a substitute for informed-consent documents and should not be taken to mean that recruitment is currently open without an announcement from the study team.
What Must Be Known Before Considering Participation?
- The sponsor, responsible institution, and research sites.
- The trial registry number, protocol identifier, and approving ethics committee.
- The objective, randomization, comparison groups, visit schedule, and follow-up period.
- Medicines and tests, possible risks and side effects, and alternatives outside the study.
- Compensation, travel reimbursement, care for research-related injury, and emergency contacts.
- Sample storage, data use, confidentiality, and plans for later use or destruction.
Research Consent
Participation must be voluntary. A prospective participant may ask questions, take time to read, discuss the decision with someone they trust, decline, or withdraw without losing ordinary healthcare. Researchers must not promise personal benefit and should distinguish research procedures from standard services.
PrEP Inside and Outside Research
People without HIV can receive PrEP through ordinary clinical services without joining a trial. Regimens have different requirements, and HIV testing is essential before starting and during follow-up. Anyone seeking PrEP for their own prevention should ask about standard-care options as well as the study.
How to Verify a Study
Use contact details published by the institution or trial registry, request a dated and versioned participant information sheet, and confirm that the investigator and site names match. Do not send identity documents, test results, or health information to an unverified social-media account. Without the information above, this page is general education only, not a recruitment notice.
