Group Clinical Visit Adherence Intervention for HIV+ Women of Color

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Adherence, Patient, HIV/AIDS, Group Meetings

In brief

The investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of Sisters-GPS with HIV-positive women of color with suboptimal ARV adherence and detectable HIV viral loads (VL). Participants will be randomized to Sisters-GPS (intervention involving weekly group clinical visits for seven weeks plus social media website) or appointment with an adherence counselor (a minimum of 3 visits) (control condition). Data sources will include interviews, medical and pharmacy records, and blood samples. The primary outcome will be ARV adherence at the completion of the intervention assessed via pill count. The secondary outcome will be HIV VL suppression.
