About this trial

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.
