Summary

This study follows 830 women in Alabama who are at risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Researchers will use a smartphone app to provide information and resources, and track how many women start using PrEP, a medication that prevents HIV. The goal is to learn what factors affect STI risk and PrEP use, so better prevention strategies can be developed.
