Official title
A Multisite Randomized Trial of Battle Viro: A Mobile Gaming App to Improve ART Adherence for Youth
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Despite the need for consistent adherence to medical care, youth living with HIV have low rates of adherence to medications and treatment. There are few interventions to improve adherence to HIV medications and treatment for youth, and there is a great need for novel approaches that are engaging for this age group. The investigators developed an intervention that includes a mobile gaming app that is integrated with a 7-day electronic medication device and text messages. During gameplay, youth fight HIV in colorful organ systems. A small previous project found that the intervention helped youth who were newly starting medications for HIV by improving adherence and decreasing HIV virus in their bodies (viral load). This proposed project will test the intervention with larger number of youth (100) who are newly starting HIV treatment and medications in New England, Georgia, and in Mississippi. The investigators want to determine if adherence is improved and viral load is reduced in this larger sample.
