IGHID 12001 - The Development of a Mobile-based App to Increase Uptake of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) by Men Who Have Sex With Men in China
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Phone application for HIV and Pre-exposure Prophylaxis. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to use a mini-application on the popular Chinese social media mobile platform, WeChat, to improve HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake among at-risk men who have sex with men (MSM). UNC investigators will work in close partnership with a well-established HIV special hospital and the local MSM community to understand key barriers to PrEP use, and develop a mobile-based intervention to increase PrEP uptake among young MSM in Guangzhou, China.

Timeline
Interventions
The mini-app (used in Part 2) has four main functions: 1. a knowledge center that contains a series of HIV-, sexual health-, and PrEP-related educational articles in Chinese; 2. an HIV self-test toolkit ordering system that allows users to order a finger-prick HIV rapid test toolkit and shipped to home for free (one piece at a time); 3. an asynchronous message function that allows users to chat with a study staff (C.Li); and 4. a user profile page where users can manage all HIV test orders.
