Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Participants With Viral Load Suppression — 210; 213 Participants — p=0.220
Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of Positive Health Check (PHC), an online intervention that delivers tailored, evidence-based prevention messages to HIV positive patients, on improving clinical outcomes and retention in care of people who are HIV positive and have unsuppressed viral loads. The costs and processes of implementation will also be assessed to inform future dissemination.
