Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The app features daily medication reminders, daily mood and stress evaluations, a community message board for social support, and patient-provider secure, HIPAA compliant private messaging between patients and clinic providers. Participants will be recruited from VDH clinics. We will evaluate the adherence and uptake rates of PrEP among study participants. Usage data will be collected from the application, and from participant surveys at 30 day, 3 month, and 6 month study timepoints. Surveys will include questionnaires on medication adherence, empathy of providers, experiences with the app, stigma and disclosure attitudes, and social support, along with mental health screening. The study will be analyzed as a prospective one arm study by comparing baseline to 3M and 6M surveys, along with examining and characterizing app usage across time.
