Summary
This trial will compare an HIV-specific wellness intervention to standard care (referral to national VA Quitline and SmokefreeVET texting program) to see which is more effective.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for veterans living with HIV who smoke at least 5 cigarettes a day, are in VA care, can text, and speak English. It's not for those with hearing/comprehension issues, institutionalized individuals, people with severe cognitive impairments, pregnant women or anyone already getting help to quit smoking.
What is being tested?
The study compares a wellness intervention tailored for smokers with HIV against standard services like the National VA Quitline and SmokefreeVET texting. Participants also have access to quitting medications through their VA healthcare providers.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on behavioral interventions rather than medication, direct side effects from the interventions are minimal. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety related to attempting to quit smoking.
