Interventions
The investigators designed the intervention to help participants increase their HIV risk awareness, promote self-appraisal and increase motivation for engaging in prevention services, problem solving barriers to accessing care, and locating culturally-sensitive providers. Intervention content is customized based on participants' socio-demographic characteristics and geographic location.
The investigators will provide a resource locator as the attention-control condition. The resource locator provides a list of health (e.g., HIV testing) and social (e.g., support groups) resources across study regions.
