Summary
Get Connected (GC) is an online brief intervention that employs individual and systems-level tailoring technology to reduce barriers to HIV prevention care (e.g., HIV/STI testing, PrEP) for YMSM. The deployment of GC through a mobile-friendly WebApp seeks to optimize online interventions' acceptability, accessibility, availability, long-term affordability among youth. The investigators will enroll self-reported HIV-negative or sero-status unaware, sexually active YMSM (ages 15-24) across three cities and randomize them into the GC intervention condition or to an attention-control condition. Assessments will be collected at 30 days and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 month follow-up.
