Amp was co-developed with people living with HIV and HIV service providers using human-centered design. We engaged with over 250 individuals across the country through multiple rounds of focus groups, interviews, prototyping, surveys, and meetings with advisory boards of people living with HIV and service providers. This iterative process resulted in a program that aligns with the wants and needs of the community and organizations.
Amp is designed to meet people living with HIV wherever they are. It has engaging and useful content, tools, community features, and resources whether people are newly diagnosed or have been living with HIV for many years.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all the incredible contributors and community members who have played a pivotal role in bringing Amp to life. Your dedication, expertise, and passion have been instrumental in shaping every aspect of the program.
