Summary
This study is testing a mobile app designed to help young Thai adults (ages 18-29) overcome stigma and start or stick with HIV prevention pills (PrEP). The app uses motivational interviewing and tailored content delivered over four sessions. Researchers will enroll 154 participants to see if the app is acceptable, feasible, and can improve PrEP use and reduce stigma.
