Biomedical and Behavioral Outcomes of Keep It Up!: An eHealth HIV Prevention Program RCT.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

HIV diagnoses among young men who have sex with men are increasing, but few effective HIV prevention interventions exist for this population. An RCT was conducted of the online Keep It Up! intervention to determine if it significantly reduced condomless anal sex and sexually transmitted infections compared with an HIV knowledge condition.

Study design

From May 2013 to March 2017, a total of 901 participants were enrolled in a double-blinded RCT of Keep It Up! with 1-year follow-up. After completing baseline surveys and sexually transmitted infection testing, participants were randomized by an eHealth platform to the intervention or control condition.

Setting/participants

HIV-negative men who have sex with men reporting condomless anal sex, aged 18-29 year
