Abstract

We explored gaming elements as a tool to promote engagement in HIV prevention services among Latino men who have sex with men. We conducted thematic content analysis of semistructured interview data that we collected from 12 Latino men who have sex with men (April-August 2022) in South Florida. Themes emerged related to intervention delivery, components, and perceptions. Our findings will guide the development of a game-based intervention to improve preexposure prophylaxis and HIV prevention engagement among Latino men who have sex with men.
