CHAMP Trial Summary

This trial will study the feasibility and acceptability of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention designed to help improve the psychological and physical health of older people with HIV. The 12-week program will teach participants stress-management and health-promoting behaviors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 50 who are HIV positive, have had an undetectable viral load in the past year, and are on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). Participants must be fluent in English, psychiatrically stable, and able to give informed consent. Those under 50, not on ART or unable to provide recent health records confirming their HIV status cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a CBT-based group intervention designed for older individuals with HIV. It aims to improve psychological and physical well-being by teaching skills to manage stress related to HIV and aging. The program includes weekly sessions over 12 weeks plus educational material provided through a brochure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a behavioral intervention focusing on education and skill development rather than medication or medical procedures, traditional side effects associated with drugs are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing personal issues during sessions.
