Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM) Reporting HIV Testing in the Past Three Months — 56; 85; 122; 128 Participants
Summary
The purpose of this stepped wedge randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a crowdsourced intervention on promoting HIV testing among young Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM). The crowdsourced intervention will include an open contest, judging to determine finalists and prizes, a designathon, and contest-based MSM engagement. The hypothesis is that a crowdsourced intervention will be superior to conventional HIV test uptake campaigns in eliciting HIV test uptake.
