Summary

This study tests a mobile app called HealthMPowerment (HMP) designed to help young gay and bisexual men (ages 15-24) either start HIV prevention (PrEP) or stay on HIV treatment. About 1500 participants will get the app right away or after a delay. Researchers will see if the app improves PrEP use and viral suppression over 12 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: HealthMPowerment (HMP) mobile app
What this could lead to: If successful, this app could become a widely used tool to help young men at risk for HIV start prevention or stick with treatment.
What could go wrong: This is an implementation study, not a drug trial. The app may not work for everyone, and results depend on how well it's adopted in real-world clinics.
