Measure
Cognitive Remediation Group Therapy
8 weekly 3-hour sessions of CRGT CRGT: Cognitive remediation group therapy (CRGT) will be comprised of 1/3 brain training exercises on tablets using PositScience software by BrainHQ and 2/3 mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) involving various activities such as meditation, breathing exercises, etc. Intervention will comprise of 8 weekly 3-hour sessions.
Mutual Aid Support Group
8 weekly 3-hour sessions of HIV group therapy HIV group therapy: These groups use a model of mutual aid to encourage peer-based discussion on the effects of living with HIV. Topics are determined by the group; facilitators ensure that safety is maintained throughout and make connections between participants as appropriate.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Three months

Participants will complete the Helping Characteristics of Self-Help and Support Groups Measure that will be complemented by questions about session length, number of sessions, activities used, and evaluation of facilitators. The Helping Characteristics of Self-Help and Support Group Measure contains 22 items that are scored on a 5-point-Likert style scale for a minimum score of 22 and a maximum score of 110. Higher scores indicate better outcome (outcome being satisfaction with support group). There are no subscales.
