Summary

The current study is a randomized clinical trial comparing Behavioral Activation counseling with supportive counseling for HIV+ participants presenting with clinically significant fatigue whose energy has improved with armodafinil, who have the goal of returning to work or vocational training but have not done so on their own. A second cohort of HIV+ participants without significant fatigue at baseline, but who also have the goal of returning to work, will also be randomized to either Behavioral Activation counseling or supportive counseling. In both cohorts, the primary outcome is level of success regarding an employment related goal.

BEHAVIORAL

Behavioral Activation Counseling

Behavioral Activation counseling is a manualized intervention adapted from a behavioral activation treatment for depression (BAT-D) and provides a basic foundation for behavior change. The individual sessions last one hour and are scheduled every two weeks. The counseling offers a brief, structured approach to identifying and scheduling activities in life areas to reduce avoidant behavior and increase activity level with the goal of achieving employment or enroll in training.
