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.

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.
