Secondary HIV Prevention and Adherence Among HIV-infected Drug Users
This study will test whether 3H+ (Holistic Health for HIV) is comparable to the original HHRP+ (Holistic Health Recovery Program) in reducing HIV risk behaviors and improving ART (Antiretroviral Therapy) adherence in a randomized controlled comparative effectiveness trial among 256 HIV+ persons in drug treatment who report unsafe injection drug use practices or sexual risk behavior.

Interventions
- 3H+ (Holistic Health for HIV)
- HHRP+ (Holistic Health Recovery Program)
Primary outcomes
- Number of Participants in Each Condition With Optimal ART Adherence — Assessed at post-intervention, 3-months, & 6-months. Reported in the table at 6-months.
Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) adherence was assessed by self-report using the visual analogue scale (VAS). The VAS measures adherence continuously from 0 to 100%, with higher scores indicating better adherence to the medication. A greater number of participants with optimal ART adherence is better. Optimal ART adherence is defined as a score \>95% on the visual analog scale (VAS).
