“Through our TakeMeHome project, thousands of individuals have tested for STIs and HIV. Hundreds of new HIV and STI cases have been identified through these programs. Our partnership with dating apps is reaching an estimated 2.5M men who have sex with men (MSM) dating app users with features and sexual health information and messages. We worked with Emory to gather data on the uptake of these features and published this article in AIDS and Behavior in early 2024. One example is how we worked with several dating apps, including Grindr and Sniffies to add information in 2023 about doxyPEP, a new prevention option to reduce the likelihood of STI transmission.BHOCs NiceAF project is an effort focused on addressing stigma, discrimination, and other negative experiences on dating apps. NiceAFs work in 2023 focused on substance use on dating apps, which touched on stigma, communication about substance use, access to resources, and recommendations for fundamental changes on apps relating to features that affect users experiences on the apps. In this work, we centered inequities relating to race, criminalization and marginalization regarding who is affected and how people are affected by the complexities of substance use on dating apps. We gathered data from dating app users, harm reduction leaders and dating apps. We created a report with a series of recommendations for dating apps and are now working with dating apps to implement these ideas. In 2022, during the height of the mpox outbreak, BHOC worked closely with dating apps and CDC to put out messages about mpox. We continued this work into 2023 and beyond. We also created a vaccine locator tool to make it easier for apps to share a link that would help all app users find a mpox vaccine near them. This tool was called Mpoxvaxmap.org, and in 2023, it was transitioned to CDC, which is now featured on its mpox information pages.We have also made substantial efforts to disseminate findings from our work that has substantially increased the visibility of Springboard and BHOC. Highlights include an invitation to the White House to acknowledge our contributions to mpox outbreak support and an invitation to brief Assistant Secretary of Health, Admiral Rachel Levine about our self-testing work.Key dissemination and external activities include:HIV self-test cost modeling article published in JAIDSWhite House visit: June 2023NASTAD award: June 2023Judge for National Academy of Sciences and Medicine STI HackathonHIV Biomedical Summit presentation on doxyPEPUSCHA presentation about national self-testing: October 2023PR Week Health-care influencer: November 2023Assistant Secretary of Health, HHS briefing: December 2023”
