Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Attention-control group	Participants will receive a one-hour general health promotion session from a nurse and be issued a phone that will deploy the EMA on the same schedule as the intervention arm. They will also receive usual care from the clinics, drop-in center, and shelter recruitment sites. Usual care includes accessing social workers and case managers for immediate housing, food, and clothing needs and assistance in navigating the local Continuum of Care system to access social services.
BEHAVIORAL	MY-RIDE group	MY-RIDE has three main components: 1) One nurse-led face-to-face session; 2) three months of Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMA) with personalized messaging delivered by phone in real-time in response to one's current risk; and 3) access to on-demand healthcare/PrEP navigation and referrals.
