This technology is particularly effective for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who often face social stigma and make in\u2010person visits to health centers difficult. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the willingness and preferences of people living with HIV (PLWH)\u00a0regarding the use of mHealth services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional descriptive\u2010analytical survey was conducted in Iran in 2024. Data were collected using a researcher\u2010made checklist with three sections: demographic variables, willingness to use mHealth services, and preferred treatment methods. The checklist, designed based on previous studies, was administered to PLWH attending health centers in Abadan, Iran. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 22 software.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 144 patients participated in the study; 26.4% were female, and 73.6% were male. The findings showed that 30 (20.8%) patients preferred in\u2010person clinic visits, 47 (32.6%) desired to use a mobile application, and 67 (46.5%) favored a combination of both methods for disease management. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between preferred treatment method (face\u2010to\u2010face, mobile, or both) and residency (rural or urban), familiarity with mHealth applications, receipt of services through mHealth, and type of mobile phone.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most PLWH expressed willingness to use mHealth services, with a blended model combining mHealth and face\u2010to\u2010face care being the most preferred approach. mHealth may complement conventional HIV care by improving accessibility and continuity of services. These findings can inform the development of patient\u2010centered mHealth interventions, although further research is needed to evaluate their effectiveness and long\u2010term outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.73108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,14]],"date-time":"2026-10-14T12:57:35Z","timestamp":1791982655000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Willingness and Preferences for Mobile Health Versus In\u2010Person Healthcare Services Among People Living With HIV: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8882-5765","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hadi","family":"Kazemi\u2010Arpanahi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology Abadan University of Medical Sciences Abadan Iran"},{"name":"Research Center for Environmental Contaminants (RCEC) Abadan University of Medical Sciences Abadan Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1315-794X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Soheila","family":"Saeedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences Hamadan University of Medical Sciences Hamadan Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9284-2640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alireza Banaye","family":"Yazdipour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Mashhad Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2400-209X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marjan","family":"Ghazisaeedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Management and Medical Informatics, School of Allied Medical Sciences Tehran University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3370-8457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hassan","family":"Bostan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology Abadan University of Medical Sciences Abadan Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2022.159410"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","volume-title":"Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome CD4+ Count","author":"Garcia S.
