First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new way to help people with HIV stick to their medication. Participants join an adherence club where they pick up 6 months of medicine at once and can get peer support. The goal is to see if this approach improves viral suppression and keeps people in care compared to standard clinic visits.
