Testing a Self-management Intervention in HIV+ Asian Pacific Americans
University of California, Los Angeles
30 participants
Jul 1, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
HIV infection rates are on a rapid rise within Asian Pacific Americans (APA) communities, with 80% of new infects being men. The purpose of this study is to adapt and evaluate the feasibility of a 4-session, 4-week family-informed self-management intervention protocol to promote health among APA men with HIV (APAMHIV). Family-informed self-management is a promising intervention to assist APAMHIV in securing family support and promoting health, and hence help address HIV epidemics in this understudied population.
