Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Direct to Consumer (DTC) DeliveryExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In the DTC arm, participants will be recruited online via paid social media advertising (e.g., Facebook, Instagram). Advertisements will target placements by age, gender, sexual orientation, racial background, "likes" that are relevant to YMSM (e.g., local LGBT organizations, "out" celebrities), and location (i.e., target county). Dating/sex-seeking apps (e.g., Grindr) will also be used to recruit YMSM, using a similar advertising approach as social media. These online recruitment strategies will be supplemented by referrals from local organizations and participant registries, and snowball recruitment. Study staff at Northwestern University will manage this recruitment process and encourage participants to complete each session of intervention content at baseline, 6 Week Follow-up, and 12 Week Follow-up. Participants in the DTC delivery arm will receive at-home HIV and STI test kits at baseline. Participants will receive an at-home STI test kit at 12 Week Follow-up.
Group II: Community Based Organization (CBO) DeliveryExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
CBOs will be selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The RFP will describe research and KIU! delivery activities to be conducted as part of the study and allowable budget to carry out the activities. The RFP will ask CBOs to describe past experience providing HIV services for YMSM. Selected CBOs will recruit participants into the intervention and encourage participants to complete each session of intervention content at baseline, 6 Week Follow-up, and 12 Week Follow-up. Participants in the CBO delivery arm will receive baseline HIV and STI testing at a CBO. Participants will receive an at-home STI test kit at 12 Week Follow-up if testing is not provided at their CBO site.
