Information-Only Arm
The HMP 2.0 Information-Only Control Arm will feature a streamlined version of the website that provides tailored information and content for YBLMT. This follows the design of HMP 1.0 where control arm participants had access to HIV-related Knowledge Center articles of the main intervention without access to the engagement features, interactive forums, or doctor Q\&A. HIV-negative and sero-unknown participants also will be able to request HIV home test kits. The choice of control arm balances equipoise with research study design; in HMP 1.0, control arm participants also experienced a statistically significant intervention benefit. Information Resources: The investigators will provide a HIV-related content as the attention-control condition. HIV Testing: The investigators will provide opportunities for participants to get tested through HIV home test kits.
HMP 2.0 Arm
Participants in this experimental arm will receive access to HMP 2.0, an interactive site that includes a Knowledge Center focused on HIV prevention content, interactive forums, and a provider question \& answer platform. Information Resources: The investigators will provide a HIV-related content as the attention-control condition. Social Support: The investigators will provide evidence-based answers to users' health questions, including linkage to care. HIV Testing: The investigators will provide opportunities for participants to get tested through HIV home test kits.
Peer-referred HMP Network Arm
Participants randomized to Intervention Arm 2 (peer-created network) will be enrolled into a parallel (but separate) version of HMP 2.0. The only difference between the two intervention arms is that the peer-referred HMP network arm will allow participants to refer and enroll 2 peers of their choosing into the study. Information Resources: The investigators will provide a HIV-related content as the attention-control condition. Social Support: The investigators will provide evidence-based answers to users' health questions, including linkage to care. HIV Testing: The investigators will provide opportunities for participants to get tested through HIV home test kits.
