About this trial

This study integrates technology-based adherence measures with alerts for social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDOH) to improve HIV treatment outcomes. It involves 110 adult patients from a Los Angeles County HIV clinic, focusing on those at risk for poor adherence. Participants will be randomized into intervention or usual care groups, with endpoints including intervention acceptability, SBDOH interventions, adherence to ART, viral load, and high-risk sexual activity. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of the integrated intervention in improving adherence, virologic outcomes, and reducing high-risk behavior among PLWH.
