Overall, our results indicate that mHealth app-based HIV prevention programs are acceptable for future research on Malaysian MSM. The findings further highlighted the role of privacy and confidentiality, as well as the associated risks and benefits associated with participation in such a program. Given the ever-evolving nature of such technological platforms and the complex ethical-legal landscape, such platforms must be safe and secure to ensure widespread public trust and uptake.
