Effect of Participative Web-Based Educational Modules on HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevention Competency Among Medical Students: Single-Arm Interventional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of new HIV diagnoses in the United States continues to slowly decline; yet, transgender women and men who have sex with men remain disproportionately affected. Key to improving the quality of prevention services are providers who are comfortable broaching the subjects of sexual health and HIV prevention with people across the spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations. Preservice training is a critical point to establish HIV prevention and sexual health education practices before providers' practice habits are established.

Objective

The study aimed to develop participative web-based educational modules and test their impact on HIV prevention knowledge and awareness in future providers.

Methods

Sexual health providers at an academic hos
