Intervention Targeting Medication Adherence and Methamphetamine Use in HIV Positive Men (ACE)
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: HIV Medication Adherence, Methamphetamine Use, Sexual Risk, Poly-substance Use, HIV Infections
In brief
The primary aim is to test an innovative 8-session intervention, based on Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Skills-Training for the co-occurrence of methamphetamine use and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) non-adherence among methamphetamine using HIV+ MSM in NYC, compared to an 8-session educational (ED) condition. Participants in the intervention condition will report greater reductions in the number of days of methamphetamine use and viral load, and greater increases in CD4 counts and self-reported and objectively measured adherence than those in the education condition.
