First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a mobile app called PeerNaija that sends medication reminders, shows users how their adherence compares to others, and offers a monthly lottery prize for those with the best scores. The goal was to see if the app is easy to use and helps young people living with HIV in Nigeria take their medicine consistently. Fifty-four participants aged 16-27 used the app for 24 weeks, and researchers measured how many stayed in the study and achieved viral suppression.
