HIV remains a significant public health problem among men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM comprise 2% of the U.S. population, but constitute 56% of persons living with HIV. Mobile health technology is a promising tool for HIV prevention. The purpose of this study was to identify the desired content, features and functions of a mobile application (app) for HIV prevention in high-risk MSM. We conducted five focus group sessions with 33 MSM. Focus group recordings were transcribed and coded using themes informed by the information-motivation-behavioral (IMB) skills model. Participants identified information needs related to HIV prevention: HIV testing and prophylaxis distribution centers, support groups/peers, and HIV/STI disease/treatment information. Areas of motivation to target for the app included: attitudes and intentions. Participants identified behavioral skills to address with an app: using condoms correctly, negotiating safer sex, recognizing signs of HIV/STI. Findings from this work provide insight into the desired content of a mobile app for HIV prevention in high-risk MSM.
在男男性行为者(MSM)中,艾滋病毒仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题。男男性行为者占美国人口的2%,但却占艾滋病毒感染者的56%。移动健康技术是预防艾滋病毒的一个有前景的工具。本研究的目的是确定一款针对高危男男性行为者预防艾滋病毒的移动应用程序(app)所需的内容、特性和功能。我们与33名男男性行为者进行了五次焦点小组会议。焦点小组的录音被转录并根据信息-动机-行为(IMB)技能模型所启发的主题进行编码。参与者确定了与艾滋病毒预防相关的信息需求:艾滋病毒检测和预防用药分发中心、支持小组/同伴以及艾滋病毒/性传播感染疾病/治疗信息。该应用程序需要针对的动机领域包括:态度和意图。参与者确定了应用程序应解决的行为技能:正确使用避孕套、协商安全性行为、识别艾滋病毒/性传播感染的迹象。这项工作的结果为针对高危男男性行为者预防艾滋病毒的移动应用程序的所需内容提供了见解。
