Summary

This study tests whether adding personalized medicine (based on genes) and extra support to take medication correctly can help smokers with HIV quit smoking more effectively. About 340 adults with HIV who smoke daily will receive either varenicline or a nicotine patch, plus some will get tailored help. The goal is to see if these approaches lead to more people quitting and staying smoke-free for at least 6 months.
