Grant Expands Access to Groundbreaking App for Youth Living With HIV

A Northeast Ohio research team has secured a $5.7 million grant from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, part of the National Institutes of Health, to assess the impact of its Positive Peers app on the health outcomes of individuals aged 13-34 living with HIV. A pilot study found that when compared to those with HIV who didn’t use the app, those utilizing Positive Peers were more likely to be virally supressed and consistently engaged in medical care.
