Male
Phase N/A
**Study Overview:** This study focuses on creating a *chatbot* to help raise awareness about *PrEP* (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), a medicine that helps prevent HIV, among Black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Southern U.S. Many people in this region are at high risk of HIV, but not enough are using PrEP. This is often due to stigma, discrimination, and not knowing about PrEP. The chatbot will guide and encourage Black MSM to learn about and consider PrEP. Researchers will test if the chatbot is helpful and easy to use compared to not using it. **Key Points:** - **Study Duration:** Participants will be part of the study for a limited time to test the chatbot. - **Participation:** Must be a Black male, 18+, living in the Southern U.S., have internet, and be HIV negative or untested. - **Benefits and Risks:** There could be benefits from learning more about HIV prevention, with minimal risks involved. By joining, you can help improve HIV prevention strategies in your community.
