• an adaptation of the iENGAGE — BEHAVIORAL
  Haitian immigrant iENGAGE (H-iENGAGE) is an adaptation of the iENGAGE intervention culturally adapted for Haitian immigrants with HIV that will be tested in a quasi-experimental pilot for preliminary efficacy among recently diagnosed or nonvirally suppressed adults across two Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in Miami.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a culturally tailored engagement and retention intervention for Haitian Immigrants Living With HIV (HILWH). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does this intervention result in measurable engagement and retention in care? * Does this intervention result in measurable viral suppression within 6 months? Participants will * participate in a pilot health intervention entailing 4 individual meetings, approximately once monthly over a six-month period and completing research questionnaires at enrollment, post-intervention and at 6 months post-enrollment. * Six participants who have completed the pilot intervention and agree to take part, will participate in the photovoice portion of the study. This activity will consist of 6 additional meetings where participants will be taught about using photographs to illustrate their experience participating in the study and take and display photographs.
