Summary

This study tests a program to help people with HIV who also have high blood pressure stick to their medication. Participants will get educational materials, a home blood pressure monitor, and regular check-ins with a nurse. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helpful for lowering blood pressure and reducing heart risks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: educational materials and home blood pressure monitoring
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a simple, nurse-supported program that helps people with HIV better control their blood pressure and reduce heart disease risk.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early feasibility study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to larger populations. The program relies on self-reporting, which may not be fully accurate.
