PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This two phased research study will conduct mixed-methods formative research and a 3-arm parallel explanatory randomized controlled trial to develop and evaluate a multilevel digital health intervention aimed at addressing medical mistrust and HIV service trustworthiness to improve status-neutral HIV service use among Hispanic/Latino gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (HLMSM).
All project activities will be developed in partnership with a Steering Committee and implemented across five key geographies — Los Angeles County, CA; Bronx County, NY; Bexar County, TX; Miami-Dade County, FL; and San Juan Municipio, PR — that align with Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) priority jurisdictions.
