Themes identified through SME focus groups and design insights they inspired.

Theme	Design insights
1.)Patients often test out of concern for possible exposure or as a routine practice.	•App should acknowledge these scenarios, provide affirmation •Provide content tailored for each type of patient
2.)Time and patients' reluctance to “open up” are key challenges for counseling	•App content should be as brief as possible •Should be provided after HIV test results are given •Elements of the app should help put users “at ease” •Tone should emphasize lack of judgment, confidentiality
3.)App content should prioritize identifying personal risks, providing options for change	•Devote considerable resources to assessment and feedback about personal risks •Tailor to users' level of knowledge about HIV •Provide many options for reducing risk •Allow users to choose options that are right for them
