Trial Embedded in an Electronic Personal Medical Health Records

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV Infections, Health Literacy

In brief

This is a research study to determine if a personal health record, called myHERO, will help improve health. A personal health record is a secure internet (also called online) tool that contains personal health information like medications, diagnosed conditions, allergies and laboratory values (like CD4 cells and viral load). This study will also help explain if a personal health record influences the relationship with a doctor or nurse practitioner and their patients. The purpose of this study is to determine if a personal health record will influence health. The content of your personal health record is as secure as possible for any online health information.
