First seen Dec 23, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

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