1.Primary Outcome
Title First-Time HIV Testing
Hide Description All individuals enrolled in the study will receive a cell phone text message three weeks later asking if they have received an HIV test. Among those individuals who do not respond to the text message, another text will be sent at four weeks after the video. We anticipate the median duration of follow-up to be approximately 3.5 weeks following the video intervention.
Time Frame Up to 4 weeks following the video intervention

2.Secondary Outcome
Title Likelihood of HIV Testing
Hide Description All individuals will be asked how likely they are to test for HIV soon immediately before and after watching the videos (during enrollment). Likelihood of HIV testing will be measured on a 4-point numerical Likert scale rating scale. 0 will be "very unlikely", 1 will be "unlikely", 2 will be likely, and 3 will be very likely. The percentage of individuals who report increased likelihood of HIV testing will be reported.
Time Frame Up to one day
