“…gay saunas) could be used to promote HIV testing, mobile HIV rapid testing, and HIV self-testing for this population. [42][43][44] Since Multi-venue Users comprised 19% of the sample, risk-reduction programs could be developed targeting this subpopulation. Specifically, interventions that take place at physical venues such as gay bars or clubs could implement online modules or social media networking discussion forums within their curriculum.…”

In France, men who have sex with men (MSM) experience the highest HIV incidence. MSM who use multiple venues such as bars and smartphone apps to find sexual partners have greater HIV and sexually transmitted infection risk than those who use a single physical or online venue. To explore the role of venues and sexual behavior on HIV risk, we used latent class analysis to highlight underlying profiles of 580 MSM in Paris, France. Three latent classes emerged: Multi-venue Users (19%), Non-serosorting App Users (49%), and Serosorting App Users (32%). Multi-venue Users had the highest probabilities of condomless receptive anal intercourse (CRAI) and condomless insertive anal intercourse (CIAI), group sex, and meeting partners at venues such as bars or online. Non-serosorting App Users had the lowest probabilities of CRAI, CIAI, and condomless serosorting. Serosorting App Users had an 87% chance of condomless serosorting. MSM reporting a pre-exposure prophylaxis history had 14 and 5 times the odds of being classified as Multi-venue Users and Serosorting App Users than Non-serosorting App Users. MSM were 3% more likely to be Multi-venue Users than Non-serosorting App Users for every one-year increase in age. Interventions addressing sexual risk behaviors among MSM in France should consider tailored risk-reduction and prevention messaging.

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) apps have the potential to facilitate convenient health care delivery and self-management of health. However, many users have concerns about their privacy when they use mHealth apps. Different apps provide different solutions for protecting users’ privacy. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine user preferences among the several privacy protection methods used in current mHealth apps and the reasons behind their preferences. Methods: Five privacy protection methods currently used in mHealth apps were presented to a group of study participants who had mild or moderate depression and expressed concerns about privacy of information when they used mental health apps. After a demonstration of the methods, study participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire and indicate their perceived privacy protection level (PPPL) of each method, their preference rating for each method, and the privacy protection methods they had used in the past. A brief interview was then conducted to collect study participants’ comments on these methods and elicit the reasons for their preference ratings. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the statistical significance of differences in participants’ preference ratings and in the PPPLs obtained for the five methods. Study participants’ comments on the privacy protection methods and suggestions were noted and summarized. Results: Forty (40) study participants were selected from a large candidate pool using the IRB approved selection criteria. All study participants viewed the app demonstration and understood the five privacy protection methods properly, which was indicated by their correct sorting of the PPPL of the five methods in their answers to the questionnaire. All study participants specified their preferences with respect to these methods and provided the rationale behind their selections on the questionnaire and during the brief interview. The results indicate that the users preferred privacy protection methods with customizable modules in multi-purpose apps because of their convenience and strong privacy protection, where the customization can be done either in the app or via a Web portal. Conclusions: This study identified user preferred privacy protection methods. These identified privacy protection methods may be used in many types of apps that perform sensitive health information management to better protect users’ privacy and encourage more users to adopt these mHealth apps.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar na literatura como os aplicativos foram elaborados e como influenciam na prevenção das Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST). Levantou-se nas bases de dados PubMed, Periódicos da CAPES e Bireme utilizando os descritores “sexually transmitted diseases” e “mHealth” combinados pelo conector booleano AND. Considerou-se o período entre 2013 e 2017, artigos disponibilizados “on-line” em português e inglês. Os resultados dos estudos mostraram que para a elaboração do aplicativo a pesquisa formativa prevaleceu como método e o grupo focal como a técnica para a coleta de dados. Essa técnica objetiva a troca de experiencia e oportuniza a discussão de assuntos inerentes às infecções. Considera-se que os aplicativos foram construídos com rigor metodológico com a participação de usuários e com recursos instrucionais que influenciam o manejo da prevenção e o controle das infecções.
