Brief summary

Investigators are adapting the LIFT and REFLECT interventions for older adults living with HIV who have been exposed to childhood sexual abuse.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALCoSHA (Coping with childhood Sexual Abuse, HIV, and Aging)

Investigators will use concepts from the LIFT and REFLECT interventions.

BEHAVIORALControl

Participants will watch HIV and health related videos and discuss how it is related to aging with HIV.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
ART AdherenceBaselineInvestigators will measure number of participants who report improved adherence to antiretroviral therapy in the past month using the 30-day visual analogue scale (VAS). Minimum is 0, Maximum is 100%. Higher scores mean better ART adherence.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Health-related Quality of Life - General HealthBaselineInvestigators will measure health-related quality of life of participants, specifically, general health, using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Health Days Core Module (CDC HRQOL-4). Minimum value is 1. Maximum value is 5. Values were recoded so that higher scores mean better outcome.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Depressive SymptomsBaselineInvestigators will measure depressive symptoms as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 which ranges from 0 to 24 with higher values representing greater depressive symptoms.
