Discussion: Innovative HIV Interventions

week9.docx

Scenario: You are an app developer who is designing a program to help address some aspect of the HIV epidemic…

· Pick a topic (related to HIV) you will target using your app

· This needs to be a specific issue that complicates the control of the HIV epidemic

· Do not just pick "education"

· Examples: stigma/discrimination, access to care, medication adherence, etc.

· Get creative with a unique or helpful way to approach this topic using technology by developing an app

· For these purposes, you have unlimited resources and funding, get inventive

· Propose your "app" using the P.O.S.T. strategy (week 9 lecture)

· Failure to use POST guidelines will result in a loss of points for this discussion

It might be helpful to refer to the CDC's Risk Estimator included in this week's reading.
