Summary

This trial is testing whether an algorithm can help primary care providers of smokers with HIV/AIDS recommend smoking cessation-related pharmacotherapy options.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who smoke more than 5 cigarettes daily, live in a place where smoking is allowed, are part of the CNICS cohort, and receive HIV care at specific clinics without plans to change. It's not for those with cognitive impairments, non-English speakers, people already in cessation treatment or unstable individuals.
What is being tested?
The study tests an algorithm that helps doctors choose smoking cessation medications for HIV/AIDS patients against standard Quitline support. The goal is to see if this personalized approach improves quitting rates.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions to smoking cessation treatments such as nicotine withdrawal symptoms like irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite and weight gain.
