Can a smartphone app help young people with HIV get better?
NCT ID NCT06388109
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app called Positive Peers can help young people (ages 13-34) with HIV keep the virus under control. About 250 participants who are racial, ethnic, sexual, or gender minorities will use the app and complete surveys over 12 months. The main goal is to see if using the app leads to viral suppression (very low levels of HIV in the blood).
