New study aims to help young HIV patients fight stigma and alcohol misuse
NCT ID NCT07638618
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a Spanish-language program called Healthy Choices for 45 young adults (ages 18-29) living with HIV in the Dominican Republic who also struggle with alcohol use and stigma. The program is designed to help them better manage their health and reduce the impact of stigma. Researchers will measure how practical and acceptable the program is, with the goal of eventually bringing it to Spanish-speaking communities in the southern United States.
