Summary

This study tests whether digital messages created by sex trafficking survivors can encourage more HIV, STI, and hepatitis C testing, as well as use of overdose prevention kits. About 368 survivors in New York City will be randomly assigned to see either survivor-made messages or standard public health messages. The goal is to see if tailored, community-driven messaging improves access to care.
