Summary

This study tested a program designed to make HIV testing easier for men who have sex with men (MSM) in Lima, Peru. The program offered HIV testing at venues where people meet for sex, along with a text-messaging app that provides information and support. Researchers enrolled 161 participants and offered different testing options (rapid test, self-test kit, clinic coupon, or choice). The study measured how many people accepted the program and stayed engaged with the app over 3 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Multi-component HIV testing and linkage-to-services intervention (HIV testing at venues + text messaging app)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could improve HIV testing rates and help more people get connected to treatment or prevention services in community settings.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed feasibility study (161 participants) in one city, so results may not apply broadly. The program's success depends on continued engagement with the app.
