Summary
This study tests a counseling program for people living with HIV who also face mental health challenges or substance use.

CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) counseling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a practical counseling approach to help people with HIV stay on treatment and manage mental health challenges.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 75 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a medical treatment, and may not work for everyone.
