Summary

This trial tests a skills-building intervention to help HIV+ people stay in care & improve their mental health.

Who is the study for?

The ORCHID trial is for adult women with HIV who are treated at the University of Miami Women's HIV Service. They must have had HPV or related health issues in the past year and may struggle with substance use or mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Participants should not be cognitively impaired, imprisoned, under 18, unable to read/write English at a basic level, or have severe psychiatric disorders.

What is being tested?

ORCHID is an online program designed to help improve mental well-being in women living with HIV. It focuses on building skills to cope better and stay engaged in their healthcare. The study will evaluate how effective this intervention is for those who might be at risk of dropping out of care due to various challenges.

What are the potential side effects?

Since ORCHID is a non-medical online intervention focusing on resilience and coping strategies rather than medication or physical treatments, it does not have traditional side effects associated with drugs or medical procedures.
