Can a smartphone app curb HIV risk in south Korea's young gay men?

This pilot trial tests a mobile app called Bandi, designed to support HIV prevention among young men who have sex with men in South Korea. Participants are randomly assigned to either the full app, which includes interactive health content, peer forums, a sexual health log, and a clinic finder, or a basic version with only informational articles and a clinic finder. Over three months, researchers compare the two groups to see if the full app leads to higher rates of HIV testing and lower sexual risk behaviors. The study aims to learn if the app is acceptable, easy to use, and helpful for this community.
