ABSTRACT

This research letter describes how a sample of young people living with HIV (YPLWH) in San Francisco use digital technology, the attitudes they have toward technology, and the anxiety they feel about being without technology. Our findings emphasize the importance of being aware of the unintended consequences of technology digital health interventions.
