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 MyPEEPS Mobile, a smartphone app designed to help young men make safer sexual decisions and reduce their risk of HIV. The app uses interactive games, scenarios, and role-plays to teach about HIV prevention. Researchers want to see if using this app for 6 months can actually lower the rate of new HIV infections in young men who are at highest risk.
Young men who have sex with men are getting HIV at much higher rates than other groups, and many don't have access to effective prevention support. This study is testing whether an easy-to-use mobile app can help fill that gap and give more young people the tools they need to protect themselves.

If you're in the intervention group, you'll have access to the MyPEEPS Mobile app for 6 months, with 22 different interactive activities you can work through at your own pace. Both groups will receive home HIV testing kits every 6 months, information about prevention options like PrEP (a medication that prevents HIV), and referrals to local clinics for testing and care. The study lasts about 6 months, and most participation happens through your phone.
