Description
This study aims to utilize innovative technology to enhance the accessibility of HIV screening and adherence to PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) among populations at risk for HIV. By developing the "PrEPHIVate" Line Bot, personalized HIV risk assessments are provided, along with features such as a daily PrEP medication log and feedback, reminders for users to take their PrEP on time, and appointment scheduling for HIV testing services. Through promotion on social networking platforms, the Line Bot expands the avenues for HIV screening, making it easier to reach at-risk populations while also offering case management services to ensure participants receive timely attention and follow-up medical care. This study adopts a prospective cohort study design, employing purposeful sampling and a snowball method to recruit at least 300 participants from the HIV risk population. A total of 600 participants will undergo both mobile HIV testing and video testing as part of pre-test and post-test evaluations. Additionally, 200 participants will be recruited from those who have tested negative or from other channels, specifically individuals who are already using PrEP. These individuals will utilize the log and feedback functions for at least four months to evaluate the effectiveness of the "PrEPHIVate" Line Bot in reaching at-risk populations for HIV screening, as well as its role in facilitating PrEP referrals and adherence. The results of this study will contribute to improving adherence to HIV screening and PrEP usage and can serve as an empirical foundation for integrating technology interventions into future HIV prevention strategies.
