NCT ID NCT06125509
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at how cumulative stress and trauma influence alcohol use and HIV self-management in young people living with HIV, ages 18 to 29. Researchers will track drinking patterns and viral load to identify modifiable targets for future interventions. The goal is to find culturally and developmentally relevant ways to improve health outcomes in this group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could point toward better ways to support young people with HIV in managing their health and reducing risky drinking.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it will not directly test any new therapy. The findings may not apply to people outside Florida or those who do not drink alcohol.
