Advancing HIV Prevention and Linkage to Care Among MSM With Gamification

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV Infections, Sexually Transmitted Diseases

In brief

This study is a pilot evaluation of 'Stick To It', a behavioral intervention based on the concept of gamification. The objective of the program is to encourage young men who have sex with men (MSM) to be regularly screened for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and to adopt safer sexual behaviors, with the ultimate goal to decrease HIV and STI incidence. Gamification is the application of game elements, like points, badges, and rewards, to non-game settings.
