Summary

This study tests a mobile app called Connections for people living with HIV who also have substance use disorders. The app provides resources, weekly check-ins, discussion rooms, and private messaging with peer mentors and care teams. Researchers want to see if using the app helps patients keep the virus suppressed and attend clinic appointments. About 433 participants from 8 clinics will use the app for one year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Connections mobile app (mHealth intervention with peer support and clinic resources)
What this could lead to
If successful, this app could become a low-cost tool to help people with HIV and substance use disorders stay engaged in care and keep the virus under control.
What could go wrong
This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug. The app may not work for everyone, and results depend on how well clinics and patients adopt it.
