Summary

This study tests a program that combines digital health tools (like medication reminders and online consultations) with social support to help people with HIV who struggle to take their medication regularly. Researchers will enroll 210 participants in Taiwan and track changes in viral load, CD4 count, quality of life, and adherence over several months. The goal is to see if this approach can improve health outcomes for marginalized or hard-to-treat individuals.

Combination of social-behavior model and eHealth platform

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could offer a practical way to help hard-to-reach people with HIV stay on their medication, leading to better viral control and quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage feasibility study in Taiwan, so results may not apply to other regions. The intervention relies on self-report and digital access, which may not work for everyone.
