Primary Track: Applications
Programmatic Theme: Public Health Informatics

In the United States, young men who have sex with men and young transgender women are disproportionately affected by HIV. Lack of knowledge, early unprotected sexual activity, and low-risk perception among the young population require increased attention. In response to the public health need, this study evaluates the effectiveness of the mLab app intervention in enhancing HIV knowledge over time. The mLab app provides real-time HIV test results and HIV prevention facts and information.
