First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at whether having a trained peer case manager can help people with HIV who also have mental health or substance use problems get the care they need. About 405 adults from an HIV clinic will be randomly assigned to either usual care or extra support from a peer. The main goal is to see if this support helps more people achieve an undetectable viral load and stay in HIV care.
