United States51 participantsStarted 2016-10
Plain-language summary
This project has developed a patient-centered eHealth intervention; specifically, an Internet intervention, targeting multiple issues and nonadherence in HIV. The intervention, Pos4Health, includes peer role model videos and evidence-based interactions to promote understanding, coping with, and managing risk factors for nonadherence to ART, and to improve nonadherence itself. In this Pilot Trial, investigators will test the eHealth intervention Pos4Health with PLWH who reside outside urban centers. The pilot trial will determine the acceptability and feasibility of Pos4Health and explore data on HIV clinical outcomes.
