Summary

The purpose of this study was to pilot test the potential for improvement in antiretroviral medication adherence of a an adapted group-based, multi-session, community-based Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) adherence and risk reduction intervention, Project ADHerence Education and Risk Evaluation (ADHERE). Project ADHERE was compared to a single-session group-based medication adherence intervention, Medication Adherence and Care Engagement (MACE).

A secondary aim was to examine the impact of Project ADHERE on HIV risk behaviors (i.e., illicit drug use and unprotected sexual behavior).

This study was designed to inform, design, and pilot test the two antiretroviral medication adherence interventions for HIV-infected formerly incarcerated individuals.

Conditions

  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Project ADHERE

This is a 3-session ART medication adherence and risk reduction intervention. Participants are educated about the importance of staying healthy and taking their medication as prescribed; to discuss importance of improved immune functioning and what their "viral load" means; reminded that they can still infect others with HIV, and that there currently is no cure for HIV; expected to generate strategies to overcome adherence barriers; educated about sexually transmitted infections (STI)/HIV transmission modes; assisted in devising an appropriate medication adherence and risk reduction plan. Participants will report their progress and discuss challenges experienced when implementing their medication adherence and risk reduction plans while establishing short- and long-term goals.

BEHAVIORAL

MACE

This one-session medication adherence intervention covers the following content: 1) a discussion on what viral load represents and what HIV does to the body; 2) referral to a provider for participants without a provider; 3) the importance of maintaining regular contact with a health care provider; and 4) benefits of being retained in care.
