艾滋病毒阳性的男男性行为者(MSM)被保留在艾滋病毒医疗护理中的比率低于最佳水平。需要针对黑人MSM的干预措施，以帮助改善他们在护理中的留存状态。这项研究的目的是调查在HIV+黑人MSM中使用移动技术的情况，并探索参与者对在护理干预中使用移动技术保留HIV的想法。22名HIV+黑人男男性接触者完成了一项技术使用调查，并参加了关于技术干预的定性访谈。大多数参与者(95%)可以使用手机，并且经常使用手机(中位数为3小时/天)。男性更喜欢允许匿名参与并提供个性化支持的干预措施。移动技术是为年轻和老年HIV+黑人MSM提供干预服务的一种有前途的方法。这些干预措施应包括男性所希望的特征(即匿名参与和个人定制)。
HIV positive Black men who have sex with men (MSM) are retained in HIV medical care at suboptimal rates. Interventions targeted to Black MSM are needed to help to improve their retention in care. The purposes of this study were to investigate the use of mobile technology among HIV+ Black MSM and to explore participants' thoughts about the use of mobile technology for HIV retention in care interventions. Twenty-two HIV+ Black MSM completed a technology use survey and participated in a qualitative interview regarding technology-based interventions. The majority of participants (95%) had access to a cell phone, and used their phones frequently (median 3 hours/day). Men preferred interventions that would allow for anonymous participation and that would provide individually tailored support. Mobile technology is a promising approach to intervention delivery for both younger and older HIV+ Black MSM. These interventions should incorporate features that are desirable to men (i.e., anonymous participation and individual tailoring).
