Summary

This study tests whether text reminders, commitment pledges, and planning prompts can help men who have sex with men stay on PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. About 106 men in South Africa who are just starting PrEP will either get standard care or these extra nudges. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable before a larger trial.
