Summary

This study tested a mobile phone app called 'My Personal Health Guide' that uses a friendly talking avatar to help African American men who have sex with men (ages 18-34) stick to their HIV medication and keep up with doctor visits. The app provides private, easy-to-understand support to overcome barriers like stigma. The main goal was to see if using the app leads to undetectable viral loads, meaning the virus is controlled.
