What is being tested?

The STOMP intervention, a program designed to help manage chronic pain tailored for people living with HIV, is being tested against a comparison group. The goal is to see if STOMP can improve quality of life and health outcomes in this vulnerable population.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since STOMP focuses on self-management skills rather than medication or invasive treatments, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from discussing personal experiences or emotional fatigue related to participation.
