Summary
This trial is testing a cognitive-behavioral-based intervention to help smokers living with HIV quit smoking by reducing anxiety and depression.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for HIV-positive individuals aged 18-79 who smoke daily and are motivated to quit. They must understand English well enough to give informed consent. People using other tobacco products, undergoing current smoking cessation treatment, or with untreated/unstable psychiatric disorders can't participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests a cognitive-behavioral-based intervention called QUIT against a Time-Matched Control (TM) to help smokers living with HIV quit by reducing anxiety and depression. It's a fully powered trial aiming to see if the intervention increases abstinence from smoking at 1-month and 6-month follow-ups.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this behavioral intervention, participants may experience discomfort discussing personal issues or stress related to quitting smoking during the sessions.

Active Control
Group I: QUIT Treatment for Smoking Cessation and Distress ToleranceExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this intervention arm will receive a Cognitive-Behavioral therapy-based intervention for smoking cessation in people living with HIV.
Group II: Time and Intensity-Match ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in this control arm will receive an intervention matched in time and intensity with the experimental arm.
Group III: Standard of CareActive Control1 Intervention
At each clinic, routine assessment of smoking status occurs at least annually for patients receiving care, but prescription for pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation and referral for behavioral smoking cessation services are rare. Patients will receive the standard of care at the clinic they attend. SOC patients will also attend the first session that participants in the other sessions receive (pre-randomization), will come to the clinic for assessment only during the weeks lining up with sessions 6-10 for the other conditions, and receive the transdermal nicotine patch for 8 weeks.
