Description
Poster session highlights:
- PrEP uptake and persistence has been a problem in the Commonwealth of Virginia, particularly in the Eastern region.
- Prep’d, a mobile health app, was developed with the aim of increasing PrEP linkage and uptake.
- The design for Prep’d was based of an already existing application for those living with HIV. A focus group and community advisory board was also used to test the app prototype.
- The app includes features such as daily medication, mood, and stress checks, private messaging to care team, a community message board, and reminders.
- Currently, the app has shown an average medication adherent rate of 69%, increased communication between patient and care team, and is easy for patients and providers to use.
