Summary

This study tests a program called CHIMES designed to help young Black gay and bisexual men living with HIV get better mental health care. The program includes posters, provider training, mental health screening, and case management. Researchers will track whether it leads to more mental health visits and better HIV control in 850 participants at two Atlanta clinics.

Active substance

behavioral intervention (posters, scripts, screening, case management, training, case reviews)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show a practical way to help young Black gay and bisexual men with HIV get better mental health support and stay in HIV care.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may be modest or hard to replicate in other clinics. It only includes patients at two Atlanta clinics, so findings may not apply everywhere.
