Summary

This study tests whether support from a friend or family member can help people with HIV keep their medical appointments and lower the amount of virus in their body. About 900 people aged 18-49 in Chicago and Alabama who have missed visits or have uncontrolled HIV will take part. The goal is to see if this social support approach improves long-term health.
