First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 300 young men who have sex with men (ages 18-24) living with HIV in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, for 12 months. Researchers will track how well they stick to their HIV medication, their viral suppression, mental health, and quality of life. The goal is to understand what helps or hinders their care, especially in different clinic settings, to design better support services.
