This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new social media-based support program designed to help teenagers and young adults with HIV (ages 15–24) stay engaged in their medical care. The program uses social media and mobile phone technology to provide flexible, attractive support that meets young people where they already spend time. The goal is to help more young people stick with their treatment, keep their virus under control, and stay healthy.
Right now, about half of young people with HIV drop out of care within a year of starting treatment, and HIV-related deaths among this group have increased sharply. Current support programs aren't working well enough, especially because they don't address the unique challenges young people face. This trial is testing whether a social media-based approach can better meet young people's needs and keep them connected to care.

If you are selected, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will start using the social media support program right away, while the other group will wait 6 months before getting access. You will be followed for at least 6–12 months, with regular check-ins to see how the program is helping you stay connected to care. The program uses a smartphone app or social media platform to connect you with counselors and other young people with HIV for support and information.
