Study Summary
This trial will test a resilience-based intervention to reduce HIV-related stigma in Guangxi, China. The primary outcome is viral suppression among people living with HIV (PLWH), and the intermediate outcomes include resilience resources at the levels of individuals, the PLWH's real or surrogate family members, and healthcare facilities, as well as chronic stress response and adherence to treatment and care.
Who is the study for?
The 'Rise-up' trial is for adults over 18 with HIV or AIDS, a detectable viral load, and willing to involve a family member. They must be able to provide hair samples, allow medical chart access, and not plan on relocating soon. Those mentally or physically unable to participate or involved in other studies are excluded.Check my eligibility

What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on psychosocial interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing sensitive topics related to HIV/AIDS stigma.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: PLWH intervention sessionsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The PLWH in this arm will receive five 2-hour intervention sessions delivered over five weeks (one session per week) in the clinics. Two trained facilitators will deliver the materials through interactive trainings that include multimedia presentations, group discussions, role-play, personal testimonies, and/or games. The same two facilitators will deliver all five sessions within a clinic to increase group cohesion and rapport with PLWH. The goal of this intervention is to assist PLWH in identifying and developing internal and external resilience resources to aid in coping HIV stigma.
Group II: Health care provider interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The HCP intervention curriculum consists of four 1.5-hour sessions (e.g., one per week) that will be delivered in small groups in the clinic setting by trained facilitators (e.g., health educators from Guangxi CDC). The delivery schedule and format will be flexible and individually tailored (e.g., four sessions can be given one per week or consolidated into two longer sessions). The goal of this intervention is to reduce the institutional stigmatizing attitudes and practices toward PLWH and other social identities, such as MSM, sex workers, and drug users, and improving the provider-patient relationships.
Group III: Family member interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention sessions for family members will be similar to PLWH sessions in terms of format and content and will be led by trained facilitators. Family member intervention sessions will emphasize supporting PLWH to cope with HIV-related stigma and to improve their clinical outcomes. The goal of this intervention is to provide social support for PLWH's resilience building as well as foster resilience at the family level.
