Nov 28, 2023 at 10:18 comment added Falco @AvanaVana if not disclosing a positive result you can directly ask your members on sign-up. And the Options will vary even more: Positive-U=U, Positive-PrEP, Positive-(Transmittable) and Negative-(Last-Test: ...), Untested (No known positive partners)
Nov 27, 2023 at 18:17 comment added Avana Vana That said I like some of the ideas you bring up here. Regarding “last test date”, since some major, successful apps in the same space, like Grindr, actually have the “last test date” feature, it seems that users may not find it as complicated as it seems, and may even expect it if the feature is there at all. Another thing to consider is that in the US (where we are limited geographically, at least initially), 33 states criminalize non-disclosure of positive HIV status to partners. So it’s in many users’ interest to disclose—we could even show a banner recommending it for users in those locs.
Nov 27, 2023 at 18:02 comment added Avana Vana Thanks for your response. The reason I responded so late is a combination of being busy (w/ this, and other things) & the client moving the goalposts…again. Basically, they now also require an additional option, “U=U” (which stands for “Undetectable equals Untransmittable” & means that one’s viral load is so low they are physically unable to transmit the virus even though they are technically “positive”—well-known term in the community), & whether or not positive users are on the “PrEP” treatment. I also found out Grindr & several other apps have this feature & users can report last test date.
