EZI-PrEP

This app has been developed for the EZI-PrEP study. The EZI-PrEP
study is an initiative of GGD Amsterdam, GGD Rotterdam-
Rijnmond, GGD Haaglanden, GGD Gelderland-Zuid and Soa Aids
Nederland. The EZI-PrEP study examines whether PrEP care can be
properly arranged online. The EZI-PrEP study is also investigating
whether the number of PrEP check-ups can be reduced from every
3 to every 6 months.
Via the app, the participants of the EZI-PrEP study have access to
all study-related activities such as the questionnaires and the
electronic diary. All participants are requested to keep a daily
electronic diary of their PrEP medication intake. The information
that the participants provide in the app enables the researchers to
study adherence to PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis). The study
may yield important information for the GGD to lower barriers to
PrEP-care and prevent new HIV infections.
The app can send the study participants a reminder so that they do
not forget to fill-out the diary. The participant can turn off the
reminder. Participants can view their entered data. The GGD can
send the participants messages, which end up in the inbox of the
app.
Via the app, the online participants of the study have access to
online PrEP-care at the GGD. Via the app, participants can organize
their STI, HIV and kidney function tests at Testlab, have a video call
with a nurse from the GGD and order PrEP.
The behavior of the app users in the app is registered for the EZI-
PrEP study.
