Protecting Against HIV Vaccine Misinformation With Adolescent Girls and Young Women in South Africa (PROTECT)

August 7, 2026 updated by: University of Pennsylvania

Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) between the ages of 15-29 years continue to bear the brunt of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections in South Africa despite progress recorded in prevention and treatment programmes. The ongoing susceptibility of young women to HIV infection and the sub-optimal uptake of prevention options such as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) that are highly effective creates a need for an HIV vaccine to benefit populations at substantial risk of HIV infection. However, lessons from previous vaccine studies and the recent COVID-19 vaccine have highlighted significant barriers to vaccine uptake, such as widespread misinformation and vaccine hesitancy. These challenges threaten the successful implementation of a future HIV vaccine. Building on these insights, this study will utilise psychological inoculation theory to develop and evaluate HIV vaccine messages among adolescent girls and young women. Primary objective: To compare changes in intentions to receive HIV vaccine following misinformation exposure in groups with and without psychological inoculation and behavioural economics boost.

Secondary objectives: (1) To compare believability and persuasiveness of misinformation claims and motivational threat associated with misinformation in groups with and without psychological inoculation and behavioural economics boost. (2) To explore subgroup effects by relevant sociodemographic and behavioural factors including HIV risk, PrEP history, COVID-19 vaccine history, general vaccine hesitancy, and information avoidance. The investigators will conduct a two-arm randomized controlled trial of 2-3 inoculation messages that address emerging myths and misinformation about the HIV vaccine in South Africa. Participants will be randomly assigned to a control group or an intervention arm: enhanced inoculation message with insights from behavioural economics.

Study Overview

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: Control
Participants enrolled in the control group will receive unrelated information on diabetes and nutrition topics of the same length as the inoculation messages. Please see Appendix 6 for an example of how this message will be structured. This will make the control group an attention control group and ensure that findings are not confounded by the intervention group spending more time and attentional resources on participation in the study.
Behavioral: Nutrition information
Participants enrolled in the control group will receive unrelated information on diabetes and nutrition topics of the same length as the inoculation messages. Please see Appendix 6 for an example of how this message will be structured. This will make the control group an attention control group and ensure that findings are not confounded by the intervention group spending more time and attentional resources on participation in the study.
Other: Enhanced inoculation message
Participants enrolled in the enhanced inoculation message arm will receive messages that warn them about impending HIV vaccine misinformation and explains why those claims are false or misleading, the messages will be enhanced with insights from behavioural economics see Appendix 5: "Inoculation message with a BE boost" for an example of the inoculation message. As part of the behavioural economics boost, participants may choose to receive a small token (e.g., sticker, badge, bracelet) with a message promoting vaccination as a consistency and commitment prime.
