Can a mobile chat program reduce HIV risk and boost mental health?

NCT ID NCT03912753

Summary

This study tested whether a mobile chat counseling program could help reduce HIV risk and improve mental health for gay and bisexual men in Romania. 300 HIV-negative men at risk were randomly assigned to receive either eight weekly live chat sessions with a trained counselor or eight self-guided educational modules. The goal was to see if the interactive counseling was better than education alone at reducing risky sexual behavior, heavy drinking, depression, and anxiety.
