Smartphone therapy: could an app help men with HIV kick stimulants?

NCT ID NCT05958017

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether a mobile app called reSET can help men who have sex with men, are living with HIV, and have a stimulant use disorder reduce their drug use and keep their HIV under control. Participants use the app for 12 weeks, completing modules on topics like managing emotions and relationships, and can earn rewards for progress. The goal is to see if this digital therapy improves both substance use and HIV viral suppression.
