In this 24-month pilot study, we will conduct the preparation phase of a multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) to develop a culturally appropriate (for Deep South contexts, to be adolescent friendly, and to be acceptable to parents or guardians) modular HIV prevention mHealth intervention, targeting behavior change related to HIV testing, HIV prevention knowledge, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake for sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents, that can be seamlessly integrated into the existing school and community environments across the Deep South. To do so, in Aim 1, we will assess stakeholders' knowledge, sentiments, and beliefs related to HIV risk, HIV stigma, and HIV prevention including preferences related to modality of PrEP and PrEP acceptability. Then, in Aim 2, we will use Aim 1 data, applying the 4-step intervention mapping framework, to inform the development of intervention modules targeting 14-18 year old SGM adolescents (rationale for this age range presented later in this proposal). We will also, develop corollary modules for parents or guardians. After intervention modules have been finalized, in Aim 3, we will conduct a 4-arm randomization to assess each module's acceptability, feasibility, and clinical signal of effectiveness as compared to a time-attention control.
