Social media and mobile technology-based interventions represent potential means to facilitate HIV care continuum engagement, particularly among populations (e.g., youth) that make extensive use of mobile technology. Notable uses include broad social media education/awareness programs, messaging services to engage directly with clients, and mobile applications for providers and patients to communicate, track, and exchange information.
