简要总结
This research study will recruit 200 transgender youths between the ages of 15-24. There are two arms to the research study: the control and the intervention arm. Each eligible participant will be randomized into either arm. The control arm participants receive an OraQuick HIV testing kit sent to an address of their choice and instructions of how to conduct the test. They will enter their results on the research study website and complete surveys at 3 month intervals until an entire year has passed. Participants in the intervention arm will receive an OraQuick HIV testing kit sent to them and will receive video-based counseling called Motivational Interviewing and Certified Testing and Referral. After this counseling session, the results from the OraQuick HIV test will be logged by study staff. Then, participants in the intervention arm will fill out surveys at 3 month intervals until a year has passed.
