Summary

This trial will test a new intervention, ABBT, to see if it can help improve HIV patients' commitment to medical care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have recently been diagnosed with HIV and are starting medical care for it. Participants must speak and read English well enough to follow the study procedures and have access to a telephone. People with cognitive impairments cannot join.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Acceptance-Based Behavior Therapy (ABBT) against an Enhanced-Treatment-as-Usual (ETAU) control condition, aiming to improve commitment to medical care among new HIV patients. It's a randomized study, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
What are the potential side effects?
Since ABBT is a form of therapy rather than medication, traditional side effects like those seen with drugs aren't expected. However, discussing sensitive topics during therapy could potentially cause emotional discomfort.
