Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Depression is highly comorbid with HIV/ AIDS and is associated with worse poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and potentially to long-term immune functioning. Cognitive behavioral therapy may solve these problem.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Depression is highly comorbid with HIV/ AIDS and is associated with worse poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and potentially to long-term immune functioning. Poor adherence decreases the benefits of ART as well as chances of prolonged survival. An intervention that integrates CBT for depression with a cognitive behavioral approach to adherence counseling (cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for adherence and depression (CBT-AD)) has been found to be effective in improving adherence and reducing depression in PLWH.
