Abstract
Digital technology is an important tool for engaging and delivering care to and for young people living with HIV. This research letter examines how 120 out-of-care young people living with HIV in San Francisco use digital technology, the attitudes they have toward technology, and the anxiety they feel about being without technology. Our findings emphasize the importance of being aware of the unintended consequences of digital health interventions.
