Summary

This study tests whether combining urban gardening with peer nutritional counseling can improve HIV care outcomes for people who also face food insecurity. About 433 adults with HIV in the Dominican Republic who have trouble getting enough food will take part. The goal is to see if this approach helps lower viral load, improve medication adherence, and reduce stigma.
