Summary

This trial will assess if using video directly observed therapy with real-time contingency management (VDOT-CM) may help people assigned male sex at birth who have sex with men (MSM) who inject methamphetamine adhere to PrEP.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for males aged 18-65 who inject substances, use methamphetamine, and are at risk of HIV. They must be HIV-negative with recent risky sexual behavior and have access to a computer. It's not for those on PrEP over 6 months or with certain health conditions like kidney issues or hepatitis B.
What is being tested?
The study tests if video observed therapy with rewards (VDOT-CM) improves adherence to PrEP medication compared to counseling alone in preventing HIV. Participants will either receive VDOT-CM or just counseling for six months and their adherence and attitudes towards PrEP will be monitored.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the interventions may include discomfort from daily medication intake, privacy concerns due to video recording, and possible stress related to adhering to the treatment regimen.
