Participant milestones
| Measure |
AllyQuest Pilot
The research assistant (RA) will meet with participants in person to explain the study in detail, facilitate app download and login onto participants' phones, and provide an app site tour to highlight features. Participants will complete a baseline demographic and risk assessment administered via a computer assisted survey instrument (CASI). At the end of the one-month field trial, participants will undergo a debriefing session to evaluate their experience using the app, overall satisfaction and any problems they encountered.
AllyQuest is a novel, high impact secondary prevention intervention delivered via mobile phones to improve linkage and engagement in care among newly diagnosed HIV+ YMSM. The features of the intervention aim to target previously identified barriers to care among newly diagnosed youth, namely, low HIV health literacy, lack of social support, and internalized stigma related to their diagnosis.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 4 weeksAcceptability of AllyQuest will be measured by the System Usability Scale (SUS). An 11-item, 7-point Likert scale of subjective assessments of usability (1=strongly agree; 7=strongly disagree). The SUS is technology independent and provides a global measure of system satisfaction and sub-scales of usability and learnability.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 4 weeksAcceptability of AllyQuest will be assessed using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8). The CSQ-8 was used to assess global intervention satisfaction. The CSQ-8 has eight items (quality of app, kind of service received from app, app met needs, recommend app to a friend, amount of help received from app, effectiveness of app for dealing with health problem, overall satisfaction, and willingness to use the app again). These domains are assessed on a 4-point response scale with individually specified anchors. Participant responses are scored from 1 to 4, and thus the possible total scores range from 8 to 32. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction. The CSQ-8 has demonstrated high internal consistency across a large number of studies and has been used to evaluate technology-based interventions
