Official title Testing Two Interventions to Improve Health Outcomes and Quality of Life Among Rural Older Adults Living With HIV
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06269081
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Engagement in HIV medical care and adherence to HIV medications are both essential in improving health outcomes among people living with HIV (PLH), but PLH living in rural areas-who suffer higher mortality rates than their urban counterparts-can confront multiple barriers to care engagement and adherence, especially as they face the logistical, medical, and social challenges associated with aging. This project will test the efficacy of two interventions to determine their impact on HIV health outcomes and quality of life among rural, older PLH living in the Southern U.S.
