艾滋病毒仍然是男男性行为者的一个重大公共卫生问题。MSM占美国人口的2%，但占艾滋病毒感染者的56%。移动的保健技术是预防艾滋病毒的一个有前途的工具。本研究的目的是确定所需的内容，特点和功能的移动的应用程序（应用程序）的艾滋病毒预防在高危男男性接触者。我们与33名MSM进行了五次焦点小组会议。焦点小组录音转录和编码的信息动机行为（IMB）技能模型的主题。与会者确定了与艾滋病毒预防有关的信息需求：艾滋病毒检测和预防分发中心，支持小组/同龄人，艾滋病毒/性病/治疗信息。应用程序的目标动机包括：态度和意图。参与者确定了应用程序的行为技能：正确使用避孕套，协商更安全的性行为，识别艾滋病毒/性传播疾病的迹象。这项工作的结果提供了对高危男男性接触者预防艾滋病毒的移动的应用程序所需内容的深入了解。
HIV remains a significant public health problem among men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM comprise 2% of the U.S. population, but constitute 56% of persons living with HIV. Mobile health technology is a promising tool for HIV prevention. The purpose of this study was to identify the desired content, features and functions of a mobile application (app) for HIV prevention in high-risk MSM. We conducted five focus group sessions with 33 MSM. Focus group recordings were transcribed and coded using themes informed by the information-motivation-behavioral (IMB) skills model. Participants identified information needs related to HIV prevention: HIV testing and prophylaxis distribution centers, support groups/peers, and HIV/STI disease/treatment information. Areas of motivation to target for the app included: attitudes and intentions. Participants identified behavioral skills to address with an app: using condoms correctly, negotiating safer sex, recognizing signs of HIV/STI. Findings from this work provide insight into the desired content of a mobile app for HIV prevention in high-risk MSM.
