title: Knowledge and awareness of acute human immunodeficiency virus infection among mobile app-using men who have sex with men: a missed public health opportunity.
abstract: In a national online survey, we assessed awareness and knowledge of acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection manifestation among 1748 men who have sex with men (MSM). Only 39% of respondents were aware that acute HIV infection may be accompanied by symptoms. Education and increased access to acute HIV testing may facilitate MSM to appropriately seek acute HIV testing.
