Summary

This study aims to minimize risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in adolescent boys and girls, ages 15-16, by promoting HIV testing and counseling (HTC) through the use of an interactive videogame. With input from focus groups of adolescents, the investigators will adapt an HIV prevention videogame, PlayForward: Elm City Stories, for adolescents ages 15-16 . The investigators will then pilot test the videogame in 30 adolescents to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the videogame. They will also assess whether the videogame increased the participants' intentions to obtain HTC, whether they actually obtained HTC, and whether the videogame increased knowledge of HIV.
