Summary
This trial will test a new mobile health intervention called LetSync to see if it is acceptable and feasible, and if it improves retention in care and antiretroviral adherence.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for cisgender men over 18 in a committed relationship, who are racial/ethnic minorities living with HIV or have a partner who is. They must own and use a smartphone and be willing to consent to the study. It's not for those fearing intimate partner violence from participating or unable to disclose their HIV status.
What is being tested?
The LetSync mHealth intervention is being tested on couples where at least one partner has HIV. The study will see if using the app helps them stay on track with their treatment and care. Participants will first try version 1.0, then some will test an updated version after feedback.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an mHealth app rather than medication, traditional side effects aren't expected; however, participants may experience privacy concerns or stress related to adherence monitoring.
