Summary

This study is testing a web-based platform called Jom-TestPlus for men who have sex with men in Malaysia. The platform offers HIV self-testing, real-time online counseling, and help connecting to prevention or treatment services. Researchers want to see if this approach increases HIV testing and links more people to PrEP or HIV care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Online-to-offline counseling platform (Jom-TestPlus) with HIV self-testing and e-counseling
What this could lead to: If successful, this model could improve HIV prevention and treatment access for marginalized men who have sex with men in Malaysia.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 78 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on self-reported data, which can be unreliable.
