Developing a Novel Mobile App to Support HIV Testing and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Uptake Among Men Who Have Sex With Men: Formative and Technical Pilot Study

Despite YSMM having among the highest annual sexually transmitted infection (STI) rate among any age group [4], STI testing rates are also low [5], with only a third of YSMM reporting STI testing in the last year [6]. Low perceived risk, lack of symptoms, limited knowledge of STIs, and lower access to health care providers have been identified as barriers to HIV and STI testing [7-9].
