Official title
IRIS: Intervention to Reduce Internalized Stigma (IRIS) Among People Living With HIV Who Use Substances
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an intervention to reduce stigma among people living with HIV who use opioids and cocaine. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does reducing internalized stigma about HIV and/or drug use lead to improved HIV care outcomes? After a year spent adapting an existing intervention to be applied specifically among people living with HIV who use substances, 70 participants will be randomized to receive either treatment-as-usual or the newly adapted intervention. The intervention itself will consist of five one-on-one sessions with a trained interventionist to discuss and work through the stigmas people commonly associate with HIV and/or substance use.
