Methods: This study involved a collaborative effort involving infectious disease (ID) specialists and residents.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates ChatGPT's potential in providing accurate and inclusive information on HIV prevention through an assessment conducted by a diverse team of medical professionals and community experts.
- Results showed that ChatGPT had high accuracy (median score of 5.5/6) and completeness (median score of 3/3), but inclusivity scores (median of 2/3) revealed some outdated terminology and underrepresentation of certain communities.
- While ChatGPT performs well in delivering scientifically accurate information, it needs improvement in socio-political context and inclusivity to enhance health communication effectiveness.
