已经制定了一些流动艾滋病毒预防干预措施，以提高艾滋病毒预防服务的接受程度，如艾滋病毒检测和接触前预防。这些干预措施大多已在城市人口中进行了试验。然而，农村地区的性和性别少数群体（SGM）也可能受益于流动艾滋病毒预防干预措施。这些群体遭受耻辱和歧视的经历加剧，获得符合文化要求的保健服务的机会有限。我们对美国南部的SGM参与者进行了一项调查，以评估他们是否愿意使用流动艾滋病毒预防干预措施的共同特征，是否愿意参与这些干预措施的研究，并比较农村和非农村受访者的结果。我们发现，在使用基于农村和高水平的蜂窝连接的移动艾滋病毒预防干预措施的共同特征方面，参与者的意愿差异不大。根据这些结果，农村居住不是使用流动艾滋病毒预防干预措施的障碍。
A number of mobile HIV prevention interventions have been developed to increase uptake of HIV prevention services such as HIV testing and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Most of these interventions have been tested among urban populations. However, sexual and gender minority (SGM) groups in rural areas might also benefit from mobile HIV prevention interventions. These groups have heightened experiences of stigma and discrimination and have limited access to culturally competent healthcare. We conducted a survey of SGM participants in the southern United States to assess willingness to use the common features of mobile HIV prevention interventions and to participate in research studies of these interventions and to compare the results between rural and non-rural respondents. We found few differences in willingness to use common features of mobile HIV prevention interventions based on rurality and high levels of cellular connectivity across participants. Based on these results, rural residence is not a barrier to using mobile HIV prevention interventions.
