Mobile health (mHealth) technologies show promise for improving HIV treatment and prevention by allowing healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients and disseminate medical information. The authors review several mHealth initiatives that have increased access to HIV testing and treatment through the use of text messages, video observations, and other mobile platforms. If designed and implemented properly, mHealth could help reduce costs and expand care for HIV-positive individuals around the world.
