Summary
This study tested a program where Black and Hispanic young adults (ages 18-29) with HIV used video calls to talk with trained peer health coaches. The goal was to help them take their HIV medication regularly and lower the amount of virus in their blood. The program included eight weekly sessions and was compared to a web-based education group.
