Breaking down shame: new therapy aims to keep men with HIV in care

NCT ID NCT03899220

Summary

This study tested a counseling program designed to help men who have sex with men (MSM) and who are living with HIV and substance use stay engaged in their HIV care. The program focused on helping participants manage difficult emotions like shame and stigma related to HIV, sexuality, or drug use. Researchers compared this therapy to standard support to see if it was practical and acceptable, and if it helped men attend appointments and take their medication.
