Increasing HIV/STI Home Testing Via a Digital Intervention Among Black Women

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hiv, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Economic Problems

In brief

The proposed intervention is a web-based intervention guided by theoretical components to increase HIV home testing among Black women at risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in a HIV hotspot in the South. The intervention will promote using the home test, linkage to care, and linkage to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) evaluation. The intervention has the potential to be implemented on a large scale and tailored based on location and population to increase testing, treatment, and PrEP adoption.
