ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING NA

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Mobile HIV Prevention App to Increase HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Testing and PrEP Initiation Among Rural Men Who Have Sex With Men

NCT06205368 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a mobile app, Combine, to increase the uptake of HIV and STI testing and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) over 24 months and to assess the effects of different implementation strategies on intervention maintenance among GBMSM in rural southern United States. The main aims of the study are: * To assess the relative effects of three treatment conditions on gains in engagement in HIV prevention compared to a modified standard of care control condition * Measure and assess secondary factors affecting app implementation * Refine implementation strategies and coordinate with potential funders Participants will download an HIV prevention smartphone app and be randomly assigned to one of four groups: * Control: App access only * Self-testing: App access + ability to order HIV and STI self-test kits * Motivational interview: App access + motivational interview to develop plans to use app effectively. * Self-testing + motivational interview: App access + ability to order HIV and STI self-test kits + motivational interview to develop plans to use app effectively. Researchers will compare each of the latter three groups to the control condition to see if HIV and STI testing increase in these groups

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06205368

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06205368 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 473 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Emory University, which has 1,434 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 3 conditions, with HIV Infections appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Combine mobile app is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06205368 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Georgia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
