“…By offering interactive theory-based messages along with support of peer health educators, the intervention reduced significantly the rate of condomless anal sex with main partners, but did not observe the difference in methamphetamine-related outcomes (e.g. methamphetamine use or sex on methamphetamine) between intervention and control groups [51]. Similarly, the SMSbased intervention conducted by Mclver et al found no statistically significant change on rates of completion of second and third doses of HBV vaccination among MSM [63].…”

“…All studies targeted MSM in accordance with the inclusion criteria. Several studies focused on specific parts of the MSM population such as rural MSM [46,47], black MSM [48,49], methamphetamine-using MSM [50,51], HIV + MSM [52][53][54] and young MSM [55][56][57][58]. Study sample size ranged from 41 [59] to 3092 men [60].…”

“…For efficacy trials, Bourne et al [66] in their quasiexperiement provided tailored SMS based on MSM' risk behaviors and found a remarkable enhancement in HIV/ STI re-testing rates in the intervention group that that in the control group (64% vs. 30%, OR = 4.4, p < 0.001). Reback et al performed another study using RCT design to test the effect of theory-driven text messages in decreasing the use of methamphetamine in MSM [51]. The Social Support Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, and Health Belief Model were used to develop the messages.…”

A Systematic Review of eHealth Interventions Addressing HIV/STI Prevention Among Men Who Have Sex With Men

et al. 2019

A systematic review was conducted to summarize and appraise the eHealth interventions addressing HIV/STI prevention among men who have sex with men (MSM), and characterize features of successful eHealth interventions. Fifty-five articles (17 pilots and 38 full efficacy trials) were included with the predominance of web-based interventions in the United Statesbased settings. Intervention modalities include web-based, short message service (SMS)/text messges/email reminder, online video-based, computer-assisted, multimedia-based, social network, live chat and chat room, virtual simulation intervention, and smartphone applications. Forty-nine eHealth interventions achieved a short-term behaviour change among participants. Four studies were conducted with 12-month follow-ups; and only one of them could maintain the behaviour change over this longer time period which could be due to the lack of booster interventions. Our study suggests that eHealth interventions can achieve short term behaviour change among MSM, however limited interventions could maintain behaviour change over 12 months. Further eHealth intervention strategies to promote HIV prevention among MSM should be conducted and rigorously evaluated.

“…We have also demonstrated that it is feasible and acceptable to deliver this positive affect intervention to various populations in a self-guided, online format [42][43][44][45]. Furthermore, there is other evidence to support the potential benefits of text messaging for reducing condomless sex [46] and mHealth applications for improving ART adherence in MSM who use meth [47]. Further clinical research is needed to characterize the psychiatric consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and test novel mHealth approaches to improve adherence to social distancing guidelines in MSM who use meth and other stimulants.…”

“…This team has also demonstrated efficacy of texting to reduce sexual risk behaviors and substance use with high-risk gay and bisexual men [58][59][60][61] and with HRY [55,62]. Meta-analyses evaluating the efficacy of texting informational, motivational, and resource referral content found benefits for behavior changes when the studies are sufficiently powered [50,63].…”

Background: The rate of HIV has doubled in the last 15 years among young people to 22% of HIV cases. Scientific advances in biomedical HIV prevention strategies have not been utilized by youth. Methods/Design: Young people aged 12 -24 years old (n= 1500) are being recruited from community-based organizations (CBO) and clinics serving gay, bisexual, and transgender youth, homeless youth, youth on probation or released from incarceration, and youth in other high-risk venues (e.g., bars and clubs). Youth are randomized in a factorial design to: 1) an automated messaging and monitoring intervention (AMMI) using text messages (n = 900); 2) AMMI plus peer support via private social media (n = 200); 3) AMMI plus strengths-based coaching (n = 200); and 4) AMMI, peer support, and coaching (n = 200). At four-month intervals over 24 months, interviewers monitor: uptake of the steps in the HIV Prevention Continuum (linkage to health care and adherence to pre-or post-exposure prophylaxis or 100% condom use), and conduct repeat rapid diagnostic tests for HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STI), drugs and alcohol use. Weekly automated monitoring via text (or email) in AMMI includes questions on acute HIV and STI symptoms for immediate follow-up by interviewers to provide HIV and STI testing, STI treatment, and partner therapy. Discussion: The greatest impacts are expected among youth receiving the most intensive intervention (i.e., AMMI, peer support, and coach). However, the youth's concurrent mental health, substance abuse, and housing and food security are expected to be significant covariates that influence the uptake of the HIV Prevention Continuum. This study operationalizes the guidelines of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding the prevention of HIV among the highest risk youth, using community-based point of care diagnostics supported by scalable technology-mediated interventions. Similarly, over 90% of adolescents under age 18 go online daily, more than half several times a day which is facilitated by access to smartphones among 75% of youth of each ethnicity, crossing the digital divide [28]. Much of this online activity is driven by social media use, particularly via smartphones -for example, over 70% of adolescents under 18 years use Facebook, while about half also use Instagram and Snapchat [28]. The interventions in this study use text messaging and social media to engage "youth where they are" in the digital environment. This approach has resulted in four intervention arms which vary in intensity and costs. In order of increasing intensity and costs, the interventions are: 1) automated text-messaging and weekly monitoring probes; 2) peer support via social media; 3) paraprofessional coaching; and 4) all three combined. This study's automated and interpersonally-mediated technology-based interventions will be based on the shared features of existing EBI -we will not create a new app nor an EBI with a manual to be replicated with 6 fidelity [14,33,34]. In the last 25 years, over...
