Behavioral mHealth Intervention for HIV with Anxiety and Depression
This study is testing a specialized counseling program called PositiveLinks with Counseling for people with HIV who also experience anxiety and depression. This program uses video calls with a community health worker through the PositiveLinks app. The study will compare this new approach to the standard care, which uses the unmodified PositiveLinks app and usual clinic care for anxiety and depression. To join, you must be 18 to 90 years old, have an HIV diagnosis, and have certain scores on anxiety (GAD-7) and depression (PHQ-8) questionnaires. The main goal is to see if PositiveLinks with Counseling can reduce anxiety and depression after 3 months. The study is currently recruiting about 60 participants.
- Study design
