Summary

This trial will test how well home telehealth services work when a video component is added for patients with HIV. The goal is to see if this will help them stay in care, which is crucial for managing their illness.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with HIV who are patients at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, TX. Participants must speak English and be able to consent to using Video to Home Telehealth services (VVC). Those with significant physical or mental disabilities preventing VVC use, or who are incarcerated, cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how adding video calls (VVC) to home telehealth services affects the ability of HIV patients to stay engaged in their care. It aims to determine the effectiveness of this technology and how it can be implemented successfully.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a non-medical intervention (video calls), there aren't typical medication side effects. However, participants may experience issues related to privacy, technical difficulties, or discomfort with video communication.
