Study Summary

The investigators propose to determine the efficacy of "My Personal Health Guide," a theory-based innovative talking relational human Avatar mobile phone application to engage HIV-positive AAMSM in adherence and retention in care. Providing an empathetic talking Avatar source of HIV-related information, motivation, and behavioral skills that is as private and convenient as their own mobile phone might produce a high impact by overcoming barriers to HIV adherence and retention in care such as stigma and health literacy.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will review medical records for HIV viral load measurements including the detectable measurement at study entry and all measurements that occur during the 6 months of follow-up and 2 months after. To ensure a high proportion of subjects have a follow-up viral load for comparison to their study entry viral load, the investigators will collect a fingerprick dried blood spot for viral load at the follow-up interview.
