Abstract

Transgender youth in the U.S. have unique health needs but often face barriers to accessing and receiving health care services, which contribute to disparate health outcomes including high risk for HIV acquisition. This article reports on a pilot randomized clinical trial of MyPEEPS Mobile for young transgender men (YTM) versus delayed intervention on condomless receptive anal and vaginal acts at 3 and 6 months after baseline. Participants rated the app as highly usable. Retention rates at 3 and 6 months were 89%. There were lower rates of condomless anal or vaginal sex acts during the intervention periods, but this reduction was not significantly different versus nonintervention periods. There was a higher likelihood of nPEP and PrEP use and HIV/STI testing during intervention periods, but this increase was not significantly different than nonintervention periods. Findings from the study support the feasibility of MyPEEPS Mobile for HIV prevention in YTM.

MyPEEPS移动应用程序在年轻跨性别男性艾滋病预防中的可行性
美国的跨性别青年有独特的健康需求,但在获得和接受卫生保健服务方面往往面临障碍,这导致了不同的健康结果,包括感染艾滋病毒的风险很高。本文报道了一项针对年轻跨性别男性(YTM)的MyPEEPS移动设备的随机临床试验,对比基线后3个月和6个月对无安全套肛交和阴道行为的延迟干预。参与者认为这款应用的可用性很高。3个月和6个月的留存率为89%。在干预期间,无避孕套肛交或阴道性行为的发生率较低,但与未干预期间相比,这种降低没有显著差异。在干预期间,使用nPEP和PrEP以及进行艾滋病毒/性传播感染检测的可能性更高,但这种增加与未干预期间没有显著差异。研究结果支持MyPEEPS移动设备在YTM预防HIV的可行性。
