This is key to advancing HIV prevention among HIV-negative US persons at extremely high-risk for HIV seroconversion.
In direct response to RFA-AI-21-018, Limited Interaction Targeted Epidemiology (LITE-2): To Advance HIV Prevention (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Optional), we proposed to harness innovative electronic methods to conduct a large, rigorous national study collecting and contextualizing epidemiological HIV incidence data in Young Men who have Sex with Men (YMSM) and testing the efficacy of MyPEEPS Mobile, an evidence-based, digitally delivered mHealth sexual risk reduction intervention on HIV incidence. We proposed to establish a large national cohort of 3,200 racially and ethnically diverse YMSM 16-29 years old, the age YMSM are most susceptible to HIV acquisition to identify theoretically-driven correlates of HIV seroconversion among a key population experiencing a disproportionate number of new H…
