Summary

This pilot study proposes to develop, implement, and evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of a culturally appropriate, multi-component intervention combining peer nutrition counseling with sustainable urban gardening among people with HIV in the Dominican Republic. The overall hypothesis is that this combined intervention will improve adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and virologic suppression among food insecure HIV+ individuals with suboptimal adherence.
