简要总结
This study will use online materials and strategies to recruit 3600 Black and Hispanic men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) to participate in a study evaluating the effectiveness of the Know@Home mobile app compared to control condition with respect to linkage of participants to appropriate services, as well as cost-effectiveness outcomes.
详细描述
To evaluate the effectiveness of mailing out rapid HIV home-testing kits and additional testing promotion components among African-American or black and Hispanic or Latino gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW), the study "Implementation of Rapid HIV Self-Testing among MSM Project", known as iSTAMP, is being conducted in 11 US states. This study is interested in the most cost-effective ways to recruit people at high risk for HIV infection. The researchers want to study a sample of 3600 adult MSM and TGW who are not known to be living with HIV; 1800 black/African-American and 1800 Hispanic/Latino participants will be enrolled.
All participants will be mailed two rapid HIV self-test kits upon randomization. All participants, regardless of study arm, will also complete a follow-up survey at the end of a 4-month follow-up period. At the end of the 4-month follow-up period, participants will be mailed a dried blood spot (DBS) collection kit for research purposes, as well as another rapid HIV self-test kit for immediate testing. Participants in each of the arms will have access to videoconferencing-delivered prevention counseling, and all participants, regardless of assigned arm, will be contacted if they report seroconversion and/or a preliminary positive test during the study period for active linkage to care.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of participants initiating HIV treatment
时间窗: Up to Month 4
Effectiveness of the interventions will be assessed by linkage of participants to HIV treatment.
Cost of different online venues for HIV test results returned
时间窗: Month 1
The cost (in US dollars) of HIV tests returned within 1 month of enrollment will be compared between the study arms. The costs involved with having HIV tests returned include: * Online banner advertisement placement * Study staff time managing enrollment, validating participant eligibility, monitoring and evaluation of enrollment data * HIV test kits * Shipping for HIV test kits * Staff/personnel time to manage mailing/return of test kits * Other general and administrative time, office supplies, equipment, rents, utilities
Cost of different online venues for identifying new HIV diagnoses
时间窗: Month 1
The cost (in US dollars) of identifying established HIV infections will be compared between the study arms. The costs involved with identifying established HIV infections include: * Online banner advertisement placement * Study staff time managing enrollment, validating participant eligibility, monitoring and evaluation of enrollment data * HIV test kits * Shipping for HIV test kits * Staff/personnel time to manage mailing/return of test kits * Study staff time to manage monitoring and evaluation of HIV test result data * Study staff time to provide phone counseling to those with established infections * Other general and administrative time, office supplies, equipment, rents, utilities
Cost of different online venues for study enrollment
时间窗: Baseline
Enrollment in the study defined as completion of the baseline survey and downloading of the study app. The cost (in US dollars) to enroll participants (online banner advertisement placement, study staff time to manage enrollment, validating participant eligibility, monitoring and evaluation of enrollment data) will be compared between the study arms.
Number of participants initiating PrEP treatment
时间窗: Up to Month 4
Effectiveness of the interventions will be assessed by linkage of participants to PrEP treatment.
Number of participants testing for STIs
时间窗: Up to Month 4
Effectiveness of the interventions will be assessed by linkage of participants to STI testing.
Number of participants engaging in HIV prevention services
时间窗: Up to Month 4
Effectiveness of the interventions will be assessed by linkage of participants to HIV prevention services.
Number of participants engaging in HIV social services
时间窗: Up to Month 4
Effectiveness of the interventions will be assessed by linkage of participants to HIV social services.
