Study Background
Help us improve HIV and STI testing resources for gay and bisexual men!
Many gay and bisexual men do not test for HIV as often as recommended. This is often because of difficulty finding a provider, bad experiences with healthcare providers, and cost. Through the Combine RCT Study, we hope to provide resources to increase the number of gay and bisexual men who test for HIV and STIs.
This remote study will be conducted entirely through a smartphone app, which provides information and resources related to HIV and STI testing. By participating in this compensated research study, participants may receive free test kits or a one-time counseling session.
