Summary
This trial is testing a new psychotherapy to help people living with HIV manage their PTSD, and understand the relationship between HIV and PTSD.
Who is the study for?

What is being tested?
The trial is testing trauma-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy, a type of therapy that helps patients reflect on emotions and relationships affected by trauma without directly exposing them to traumatic memories.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a psychological therapy, side effects may include emotional discomfort or distress as individuals explore difficult experiences and feelings related to their trauma.
