Brief Summary
This study will be carried out in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan province, China, using a single-blinded randomized controlled trial design to measure the effects of a mobile-based HIV-related information intervention on group HIV/AIDS prevention. Village doctors will be responsible for sending the HIV-related health education information to the participants. The aim of this study is to develop a generalizable, effective, acceptable, and convenient mobile-based information intervention model to improve HIV-related knowledge, attitudes, practices, and health outcomes in poverty-stricken areas in China and measure the impact of incentive policies on the work of village doctors in Liangshan, China.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
HIV-related knowledge improvement
Result will be obtained by calculating weighted scores for the indicators in the HIV Knowledge Questionnaire 18 (HIV-KQ-18) to represent the participants' and their family members' level of knowledge measured by the baseline and follow-up questionnaires. The HIV-KQ-18 is a self-administered 18-item questionnaire; the possible scores range from 0 to 18, with 0-9 representing low HIV-related knowledge and 10-18 representing high HIV-related knowledge.
18 months
Comparison of the effectiveness of different financial compensations
The research team will compare the two interventions to determine what type of financial reward, standardized compensation or participant performance-based compensation, is more effective at incentivizing village doctors to deliver and promote the intervention content.

Mobile-based intervention with standardized incentive
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive biweekly messages containing HIV-related educational modules from village doctors who will receive standardized compensation for performing the work.
Mobile-based intervention with performance-based incentive
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive biweekly messages containing HIV-related educational modules from village doctors who will receive performance-based compensation for performing the work.
Control without intervention
