Mobile Health Intervention to Increase HIV Testing and Linkage to Care
Sponsor: Emory University
Summary
This 5-year project will test an mobile health approach to improve HIV self-testing (HST) and linkage to HIV-related care among high-risk men in China. HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM) will be randomly assigned to an intervention group: access to WeTest-WeLink (a mobile application-based HIV testing health promotion and risk reduction program), or a control group. Participant HST and sexual risk behaviors will be evaluated at baseline and at 6, 12, and 18 months post-baseline.
