Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study aims to use a mini-application on the popular Chinese social media mobile platform, WeChat, to improve HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake among at-risk men who have sex with men (MSM). UNC investigators will work in close partnership with a well-established HIV special hospital and the local MSM community to understand key barriers to PrEP use, and develop a mobile-based intervention to increase PrEP uptake among young MSM in Guangzhou, China.
