The Blued+ Combination HIV Prevention Pilot Study in China

The proposed research includes a longitudinal pilot study to assess the feasibility and acceptability of Blued+. This combination HIV prevention intervention will integrate a combination package of HIV prevention services into Blued, a gay dating App, for men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. Despite high HIV incidence among MSM, HIV prevention interventions such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use remains low in China. If the HIV prevention intervention services provided through the Blued+ App prove feasible and acceptable, the pilot test will facilitate the design of a larger study of intervention efficacy. The study population will be self-reported HIV-negative Blued users who are 18 years of age or greater, were assigned a male sex at birth, report having anal sex with a man in the last 6 months, eligible for PrEP according to China's consensus statement, and reside in metropolitan Beijing or Chengdu, China.
