Interventions

  • Wellness, Intervention Strategies and HIV Care (WISH) — BEHAVIORAL
    A structured behavioral group program consisting of five weekly sessions, each approximately 60-90 minutes in length. The intervention is designed for individuals living with HIV who use substances and focuses on: managing stress, addressing barriers to care, and enhancing engagement with HIV-related health services. Sessions are delivered in a small-group format and facilitated by trained staff using a manualized curriculum.
  • Movie Night Club - Attention and Time Matched Control — BEHAVIORAL
    Weekly 90-minute group sessions over 5 weeks in which participants watch non-therapeutic, neutral-content movies in a group setting. Sessions are facilitated to control for social interaction and time spent in a structured group environment but do not include any therapeutic content.

Study Details

This is a pilot trial designed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention aimed at improving adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), viral suppression, and engagement in HIV care.
