						Project Description
						Young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (YMSM) are at rapidly increasing risk of HIV infection in China, largely due to stigma and associated minority stressors and barriers to mental and sexual health. This program of research has set the stage for now preliminarily testing the efficacy of the first minority stress-mental health intervention for YMSM in Asia with high potential to reduce YMSM’s behavioral HIV risk. Delivering this intervention using a mobile platform requiring few provider resources ensures high reach and scalability, paving the way for future dissemination across China and other high-stigma low/middle-income countries severely affected by HIV.
