Abstract

Studies show positive affect buffers against stress for people living with HIV, however, limited research has examined its potential health benefits for sexual minority men living with HIV (SMM-LHIV). In our proof-of-concept pilot, we adapted a Positive Affect intervention for mobile app delivery. The Positively Healthy app was designed as an ecological momentary intervention using a just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) delivery format. Participants were 22 SMM-LHIV (Mage = 37.82; SD = 10.52), who completed a 90-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA). JITAI activities were triggered based on reported stress in the EMA survey. Participants completed a post-intervention assessment assessing usability, feasibility, and acceptability. On average, participants reported stress in 58.21% of the EMAs and responded to 82.1% of the intervention activities. Qualitative interview data indicated that app-based delivery was acceptable and feasible. Participant feedback also revealed our intervention would benefit from further adaptation to enhance system usability and tailored content to optimize acceptability for SMM-LWH.
