Measure
SMS Reminders
Participants will receive regular SMS reminders regarding PrEP. All participants will receive adherence monitoring through a WisePill device. SMS Reminders: Participants will receive daily reminders, with content and timing of their choosing, regarding their PrEP use. Participants will have the choice to later receive SMS reminders only when they forget to take their dose (as indicated by real-time adherence monitoring via WisePill).
No Reminders
Participants will not receive SMS reminders. All participants will receive adherence monitoring through a WisePill device.
