New treatment option for HIV/AIDS
Official title INcentives and ReMINDers to Improve Long-term Medication Adherence (INMIND)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06949774
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Low medication adherence when initiating antiretroviral treatment (ART) is a key barrier to HIV virologic suppression, resulting in avoidable cases of drug resistance, death, and viral transmission. Routinized pill-taking can lead to successful long-term ART adherence, and short-term behavioral economics-based supports are a novel way to overcome the limited success of existing routinization interventions.
