The California HIV/AIDS Research Program (CHRP) is funding new initiatives that use artificial intelligence and apps to target specific groups. The CHRP-funded projects are part of UC Centers for AIDS Research in Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego. The programme uses AI to identify influential peers who are then taught about HIV, sexual health, and communication skills. The hope is that these peers will have greater success passing the knowledge of prevention, testing and treatment of HIV to hard-to-reach groups, such as homeless youths and women facing obstacles like domestic violence. In a study published in PLOS ONE, researchers from CHRP found that using an app called “HIV+” can help people with HIV learn how to prevent infection by teaching them skills they need
