Health Mpowerment.org: An Online and Mobile HIV Intervention for Young Black MSM

HealthMpowerment.org (HMP) is an internet HIV/STI intervention for young HIV infected and uninfected black men who have sex with men. The study used data from feasibility and acceptability testing of HMP to refine and enhance the HMP intervention website and added novel features delivered via mobile phone technology. The intervention is now being tested in a randomized controlled trial.
