AllyQuest: Engaging HIV+ YMSM in Care Through Social Networking and Gamification

AllyQuest is a novel, high impact secondary prevention intervention delivered via mobile phones to improve linkage and engagement in care among newly diagnosed HIV+ YMSM. The development of this intervention is both timely and vital given the urgency of the ongoing HIV epidemic among YMSM. The features of the intervention aim to target previously identified barriers to care among newly diagnosed youth, namely, low HIV health literacy, lack of social support, and internalized stigma related to their diagnosis.
