Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to inform the development of an acceptable and usable smartphone app for transgender women (TGW) in Malaysia to deliver an integrated HIV prevention intervention that incorporates screening and guidance for HIV testing and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) compared to treatment as usual. A new clinic-affiliated app (to be called MyLink2Care) will be developed (by adapting an existing app) and tested to deliver an integrated HIV prevention intervention that incorporates tailored HIV prevention and gender affirming care (GAC) services to TGW in Malaysia. The specific aims of the study include: - Aim 1: Guided by the modified IM Adapt model, an existing mobile app will be adapted, expanded, and refined. Focus groups will be conducted with TGW (n=20) and clinical stakeholders (n=10) to theater test the existing app to develop an interactive prototype of the MyLink2Care app (alpha version), which will undergo usability testing (N=10), followed by full development of the app (beta version). - Aim 2 Conduct beta testing of the fully developed version of the MyLink2Care app (N=15) to assess its usability and acceptability. - Aim 3: Assess preliminary feasibility and acceptability of the MyLink2Care app within a pilot, randomized controlled trial, compared with treatment as usual for engagement in the HIV prevention cascade (N=50). Together, these aims will address multilevel barriers to HIV testing and PrEP uptake in Malaysian TGW. Feasibility is high based on the investigators extensive experience with HIV prevention in TGW, theory-guided behavioral interventions, mHealth expertise, and longstanding work in Malaysia. ;
