Feasibility and Usability of an mHealth App (mLab+) to Guide Users Through HIV and Syphilis Self-Testing: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
The findings support the use of the mLab+ app as a tool for assisting consumers in self-testing for HIV and syphilis. The limitations of the study design warrant further examination outside of clinic settings to better understand the utility of these tools for improving consumer health outcomes.
