Summary

This study is testing a program called Women SHINE, which uses online peer support sessions and group therapy to help women living with HIV who have experienced interpersonal violence. The goal is to see if this approach helps them take their HIV medication more consistently and improves their emotional well-being. The study will enroll 360 women and compare the program to a single group session plus a resource website.
