NCT ID NCT05314088
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a resilience-building program called RISE+ in 106 people over 50 living with HIV. Participants watched videos and did activities to improve coping skills, optimism, and social connections. The goal was to see if the program helps them handle daily stress better and improve their quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- RISE+ resilience building intervention (behavioral program with videos and activities)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, home-based way to help older adults with HIV handle stress better and improve their daily lives.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study (106 people) testing a behavioral program, not a drug. Results may not apply to everyone, and benefits may be modest.
