First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone-based program can help people living with HIV quit smoking better than standard phone counseling. About 638 participants will use nicotine patches and lozenges along with either automated video coaching or traditional quitline support. The goal is to see which approach leads to more people staying smoke-free long-term.
