"Hi. I work with a project that is that funded by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop a mobile application (app)for HIV testing, a research program focused on HIV prevention.

It will only take a minute or two. Some of the questions are personal, including questions about sexual activity. Taking part is up to you. Your responses will be kept private.
