Summary

This trial will test whether neuroimaging can help assess how effective HIV prevention messages are for MSM.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for biological males at birth, HIV negative, who've never taken PrEP, are 18 or older, live in/near Baltimore City, and have been sexually active with men. They must be at risk of HIV (e.g., condomless sex or recent STI). Those who joined the open contest can't participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests how effective different PrEP promotion messages are for preventing HIV in high-risk men. One set of messages is created through an open contest; another set uses a social marketing approach. Their impact will be evaluated using neuroimaging techniques.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on evaluating promotional messages rather than medical treatments, there aren't direct side effects like those associated with drugs or medical procedures.
