Summary

"This trial combines technology-based tools to track medication adherence and alerts for social and behavioral factors to improve HIV treatment outcomes. It will involve 110 adult patients from an HIV clinic in Los Angeles who are at

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with HIV from a Los Angeles County clinic, particularly those who struggle to stick to their treatment. Participants must be willing to use a pill sensor system that tracks medication intake and alerts for social and behavioral health issues.
What is being tested?
The study tests an integrated intervention using a pill ingestible sensor system (ISS) combined with support for social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDOH). It compares usual care against this new approach in terms of adherence, viral load control, and risky sexual behavior reduction.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention focuses on monitoring systems rather than medications, side effects are not typical drug reactions but may include privacy concerns or discomfort with technology use.
