ClinConnect Summary

The SHARE Program: SUSTAIN trial is studying ways to help young people living with HIV manage their health better, especially when it comes to medication adherence and alcohol use. The program uses mobile health technology (like apps and text messaging) to support participants in making healthier choices. The main goal is to help participants take their HIV medications daily and reduce risky alcohol use, with the hope that this will also lead to better health outcomes, such as viral suppression (meaning the virus is controlled and not spreading).

To participate in this trial, individuals must be between 18 and 29 years old, live in Florida, have a history of alcohol use, and be able to read and understand English. They also need to have access to the internet through a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Participants will engage in sessions that include guidance on healthy choices and receive support through text messages. This study is currently recruiting and aims to create a program that can be widely used to help others in the future.
