NEW publication from ATN 143: COMPARE, which tested the efficacy of two apps to increase HIV testing and PrEP use among young sexual minority men. In addition to facilitating earlier treatment among those who become aware of their HIV status, given the ubiquity of mobile apps and modest resources required to scale this intervention, a 25% relative increase in HIV testing among young sexual minority men, as seen in this study, could meaningfully reduce HIV incidence in the United States. https://lnkd.in/e6emSmAY #ATNresearch #HIVtesting #PrEP #adolescenthealth #research #HIVresearch #HIVprevention #HIVcare #digitalhealth
