HIV video in waiting rooms boosts treatment adherence
NCT ID NCT03508310
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a short video shown in HIV clinic waiting rooms to encourage patients to start and stick with their HIV medications, stay in care, and protect their partners. Over 4,000 patients from clinics serving mostly African American and Hispanic communities took part. The video aimed to improve viral suppression and retention in care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Waiting room video
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this video could become a low-cost tool to help more people with HIV stick to their treatment and stay healthy.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is already completed, so results are available. However, a video alone may not be enough to change behavior for everyone, and effects may vary by clinic.
