NCT ID NCT07229326
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a questionnaire called POSITIVE OUTCOMES to help doctors focus on what matters to people living with HIV, like mental health and social concerns. About 17,000 adults from five clinics in the UK and US will try it out. The goal is to see if using this tool improves care quality and patient well-being.
