 DESCRIPTION: Young Black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the U.S. have a disproportionally higher incidence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) compared with other racial/ethnic groups. Unrecognized and untreated HIV and bacterial STIs are likely fueling these disparities as they exist despite similar individual risk behavior compared with other racial/ethnic groups. Known barriers to HIV and STI testing and treatment include low perceived risks, difficulty accessing providers, lack of engagement in regular healthcare, stigma, and concerns about confidentiality. The recent development of two new technologies, mobile health applications on hand-held devices (mHealth) and home testing for HIV and STIs, offer potential solutions to engage young Black MSM in HIV and STI testing and treatment. The major goals of this research are to test whether a combination of technology-based interventions to increase access and awareness can overcome barriers to engaging young Black MSM in HIV and STI testing and treatment; and to understand key features that enhance uptake.

 描述：与其他种族/族裔群体相比，美国年轻男男性行为者 (MSM) 的人类免疫缺陷病毒 (HIV) 和其他性传播感染 (STI) 的发病率要高得多。尽管存在类似的情况，但未被识别和治疗的艾滋病毒和细菌性传播感染可能会加剧这些差异 与其他种族/族裔群体相比的个人风险行为。艾滋病毒和性传播感染检测和治疗的已知障碍包括感知风险低、难以获得医疗服务提供者、缺乏定期医疗保健、耻辱以及对保密性的担忧。最近开发的两项新技术，即手持设备上的移动医疗应用程序（mHealth）和艾滋病毒和性传播感染的家庭检测，为吸引年轻的黑人男男性行为者参与艾滋病毒和性传播感染检测和治疗提供了潜在的解决方案。这项研究的主要目标是测试基于技术的干预措施的组合是否能够克服障碍，让年轻的黑人男男性接触者参与艾滋病毒和性传播感染检测和治疗；并了解增强吸收的关键特征。
