Feasibility and Preferences to Adopt mHealth-Based Interventions for HIV Prevention Among High-Risk Groups: Cross-Sectional Study

There is high acceptability and considerable potential for mHealth interventions to enhance HIV prevention efforts among MSM, transgender individuals, and people who inject drugs in Pakistan. Tailored, discreet, and comprehensive mHealth platforms that include educational content, medication reminders, e-consultation, and mental health support are warranted. Addressing criminalization and ensuring user privacy will be crucial for the successful design and implementation of these interventions. Future research should focus on implementation research to assess the real-world uptake of these findings.

Abstract

There is high acceptability and considerable potential for mHealth interventions to enhance HIV prevention efforts among MSM, transgender individuals, and people who inject drugs in Pakistan. Tailored, discreet, and comprehensive mHealth platforms that include educational content, medication reminders, e-consultation, and mental health support are warranted. Addressing criminalization and ensuring user privacy will be crucial for the successful design and implementation of these interventions. Future research should focus on implementation research to assess the real-world uptake of these findings.
