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 whether a text messaging program can help trans girls and nonbinary youth prevent HIV. You would receive five months of text messages with information about HIV prevention, healthy relationships, and navigating gender identity. The goal is to see if this type of program can help thousands of young people stay safe.
Young trans girls and nonbinary youth assigned male at birth face higher risks for HIV, and there are very few prevention programs designed specifically for them. This study aims to create an easy, affordable way to reach and support this community through technology.

If you join, you'll be randomly placed into one of two groups. Both groups will receive text messages for five months — one group gets information plus motivation and skill-building tips about HIV prevention and relationships, while the other group gets basic health information. You'll also complete brief online surveys at different points during the study. The whole process takes about six months from start to finish.
