Tobacco Cessation Texting Intervention for People Living With HIV Who Smoke in Vietnam

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Tobacco Cessation

In brief

The intersection of smoking and HIV/AIDS poses a serious public health threat in Vietnam. Vietnam is dealing with these two challenges with parallel rather than integrated plans. Using a computer-tailored texting intervention, study investigators seek to promote the use of an underused, available, government-funded resource (the Quitline) and Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) that the quitline provides, thus, promoting cessation among PLWH.
