Study summary

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a HIV risk assessment tool to promote HIV testing and to reduce high risk sexual behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM). It hypothesizes that the social media-based HIV risk assessment tool can increase 20% HIV testing proportion during the six months follow-up period.

    Time frame: 1 month

Secondary outcomes

  1. unprotected anal intercourse

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2018, 7 months after the start.

Of 642 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 30 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 45. This study's planned 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 648 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 45.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 25, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
