Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test technology-based interventions to promote Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake and adherence among Thai young men who have sex with men (YMSM).


Clinical Trial Description

Motivational Enhancement System for Adherence (MESA) is a computer-based motivation invention, based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model and Motivational Interviewing (MI) principles, used to promote adherence among HIV-positive youth initiating antiretroviral treatment. In this study, the team will adapt and develop MESA to focus on PrEP uptake and adherence, which will be called Motivational Enhancement System for PrEP Uptake and Adherence (MES-PrEP). Motivational Interactive Text Messaging (MTM) will be integrated with MES-PrEP to provide ongoing support to maintain the individual's motivation for behavior change. Both interventions will be developed and refined based upon the inputs from YMSM through focus group discussion and youth advisory board. The Investigators propose to pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an intervention combining MES-PrEP and MTM to increase PrEP uptake and adherence among Thai YMSM. Eligible YMSM will be randomized to receive either the intervention plus the standard PrEP counseling or standard PrEP counseling, and followed for 6 months with assessments at baseline, month 1, 3 and 6. ;
