Mobile health technology for improving symptom management in low income persons living with HIV.
This study aimed to examine the impact of an mHealth application (app), comprised of evidence-based self-care strategies, on the symptom experience of persons living with HIV (PLWH). In this 12-week trial, an mHealth app, mobile Video Information Provider (mVIP), was associated with improved symptom burden and increased medication adherence in PLWH.

Strategies for improving the lives of US women aged 40 and above living with HIV/AIDS: an evidence map.
This work aims to identify and characterize empirical studies of strategies for the comprehensive management of women over 40, including transgender women, who live with HIV/AIDS. Few of the 37 eligible studies focused on women facing obvious challenges, such as immigrants, transgender, physically abused, or those recently released from prison. No studies focused on women caring for dependents, including children and grandchildren, or those diagnosed after age 40.

Comparing men who have sex with men and transgender women who use Grindr, other similar social and sexual networking apps, or no social and sexual networking apps: implications for recruitment and health promotion.
This paper seeks to identify differences in men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women who use the Grindr app and those who use other similar apps. It found significant differences in the sociodemographic characteristics by app use, including age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and outness. After adjusting for the sociodemographic characteristics associated with app use, there were significant differences in HIV risk and substance use between the groups.
