First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 5-session program for Black women living with HIV who have experienced intimate partner violence in the past two years. The program teaches skills to find inner strength, build a safety net, improve communication, and overcome barriers to HIV care. Researchers will check if it helps women stay in care, take their medication, and use safety strategies.
