Summary

This study tested a special digital pill and smartphone app to help HIV-negative men who have sex with men and who also have substance use disorder take their daily HIV prevention medication (PrEP) consistently. Forty participants took a PrEP pill with a sensor that recorded when it was swallowed, and the app tracked their activity and asked brief questions on days they missed a dose. The goal was to see if this system could improve adherence and understand why people sometimes skip their medication.
