Abstract

The article delves into the potential of blockchain technology in addressing HIV-related challenges across research, clinical practice, and community settings. It introduces blockchain's features, such as decentralization and immutability, and explores how these can enhance data security, confidentiality, and transparency. In research, blockchain can facilitate secure data collection and verification, while in clinical settings, it can improve medical records management and patient control over health data. Additionally, the article discusses innovative applications like blockchain-based social media and dating apps to promote HIV prevention and reduce transmission. The text also considers the potential challenges and future research needs in integrating blockchain technology into HIV-related activities.
