First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether text messages can encourage teenagers (ages 13-19) to get tested for HIV. About 360 teens who have had sex and are HIV-negative or don't know their status will receive either helpful texts or general information. Researchers will check if more teens get tested by asking them to share a photo of their test results.
