PHASTT: A mobile Personalized HIV and STI Testing Tool for young Black men

 产品说明：在美国，与男性发生性关系的年轻黑人男性（MSM）与其他种族/族裔群体相比，人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和其他性传播感染（STI）的发病率明显较高。未被识别和未经治疗的艾滋病毒和细菌性性传播感染可能会加剧这些差异，因为它们存在，尽管类似的 与其他种族/民族群体相比，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风险低、难以接触提供者、缺乏对常规医疗保健的参与、污名化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的健康应用程序（mHealth）和艾滋病毒和性传播感染的家庭检测，为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是否结合技术为基础的干预措施，以增加访问和认识可以克服障碍，让年轻的黑人男男性行为者在艾滋病毒和性传播感染的检测和治疗;并了解提高吸收的关键特征。

 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.
