Trial of an mHealth intervention to improve HIV prophylaxis for female sex workers, United Republic of Tanzania
Early retention in HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis care was significantly greater among female sex workers in the United Republic of Tanzania who used the <i>Jichunge</i> app than in those who did not. Nevertheless, more than two thirds of sex workers using the application did not attend follow-up services after 1 month, suggesting that additional interventions are needed.
