Summary

This trial will study whether or not reinforcing job-acquisition activities improves employment outcomes for unemployed persons living with HIV/AIDS.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are HIV positive and currently unemployed, not participating in the formal economy. It's designed to help them get back into work. People with conditions that could interfere with their participation in the study cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests two methods to improve job acquisition for people living with HIV/AIDS. Everyone gets standard unemployment services plus encouragement for job readiness activities. One group also gets chances to win prizes as extra motivation for completing these activities.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on employment support rather than medical treatment, it does not involve typical medication side effects. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety related to job search activities.
