TEACH-HIV: Text Education for Cardiovascular Health in HIV
This study, called TEACH-HIV, is testing whether educational text messages can help people living with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) reduce their risk of heart and blood vessel problems (cardiovascular disease). You might be able to join if you are at least 40 years old, have HIV, and speak English. However, you cannot join if you already have certain heart conditions (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease), are pregnant, or don't own a smartphone. The main goal is to see if these text messages help participants achieve controlled blood pressure after 6 months. The study is currently recruiting about 260 participants.
