Summary

This study tests a 5-session virtual program called MATTER for 256 people living with HIV and substance use disorders in Boston and Miami. The program uses text messages and coaching to help people manage shame and stigma, set health goals, and stay connected to HIV care. The goal is to see if it helps more people achieve an undetectable viral load, which keeps them healthy and prevents spreading HIV.
