Summary

This study combines peer navigation (trained community members) with mobile health tools to help gay, bisexual, and transgender people in rural Appalachia access HIV, STI, and hepatitis C testing and prevention services. About 141 participants will be split into two groups: one gets the program right away, the other gets it later. The goal is to see if this approach increases testing and use of prevention like PrEP and syringe services.
