Men who are living with HIV and use stimulants face many challenges and barriers that may interfere with remembering to take their HIV medication. Forgetting to take HIV medication puts men living with HIV at a greater risk of becoming virally unsuppressed. Researchers are doing this study to test if a remote intervention can help participants improve remembering to take their HIV medications and reduce the HIV viral load among men living with HIV who use stimulants.
A resurgent stimulant epidemic among men living with HIV could compromise the U.S. Ending the HIV Epidemic goals by interfering with HIV care engagement, adherence, and virologic suppression among men living with HIV. Prominent multi-level factors interfere with HIV virologic suppression for men living with HIV, particularly among those who use stimulants. This study is a nested randomized clinical trial to test a multi-component intervention to improve virologic suppression, adherence, and stimulant use among men living with HIV who use stimulants. The intervention, known as reSTART, will combine an evidence-based positive affect mobile health (mHealth) intervention, a home-based urine point-of-care test for adherence self-monitoring, and motivational interviewing and messages. The goal of the reSTART intervention is to improve or maintain adherence to HIV medications and reduce stimulant use. By this high-impact study's end, the investigators will have identified the impact of a multi-component reSTART mHealth intervention using novel point-of-care adherence self-monitoring on HIV virologic suppression and stimulant use.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| reSTART Intervention | Experimental | The reSTART intervention will be administered to this group and includes: (1) adherence self-monitoring tools delivered during a single baseline motivational interviewing session; (2) the urine tenofovir point-of-care self-test with adherence feedback and visualizations with motivational messages; (3) a positive affect intervention delivered via a mobile health application which supports stimulant-using men in reducing stimulant use. |
|
| Standard of Care | No Intervention | The control group will receive standard of care and will not receive the reSTART intervention. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| reSTART Objective Adherence Self-Monitoring and Postive Affect mHealth Intervention | Behavioral | The reSTART intervention integrates a mobile health application, a urine tenofovir point-of-care self-test, and adherence feedback with motivational messages to increase HIV medication intake, reduce stimulant use, and improve HIV virologic suppression. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Viral suppression measured by HIV-1 RNA, Quantitative, Real-Time PCR | The primary endpoint will be change in viral suppression comparing baseline to post-intervention viral load results measured by HIV-1 RNA, Quantitative, Real-Time PCR. Viral suppression is defined as viral load results that yield less than 50 copies/mL. | Baseline to 6-months post-intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Stimulant Use measured quantitatively by stimulant levels in hair | Stimulant levels will be compared pre- and post-intervention and measured quantitatively using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry laboratory techniques. | Baseline to 6-months post-intervention |
| Long-term Viral Suppression measured by HIV-1 RNA, Quantitative, Real-Time PCR. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptability of the Intervention using the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability Questionnaire | The acceptability of the intervention will be measured using the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability Questionnaire. Questions will be framed using Likert scales where a score of 1 corresponds to completely unacceptable and a score of 5 corresponds to completely acceptable. | Enrollment to 6-months post-intervention |

As a secondary endpoint, long-term viral suppression will be measured at 12-months and compared to baseline viral load results from HIV-1 RNA, Quantitative, Real-Time PCR. Viral suppression is defined as viral load results that yield less than 50 copies/mL. |
| Baseline to 12-months post-intervention |
| Adherence to Tenofovir-based antiretroviral therapy | Urine tenofovir levels measured by the urine tenofovir point-of-care self-test lateral flow assay at baseline and 6-months post-intervention will be compared to assess the presence or absence of tenofovir and changes in adherence to HIV medications. | Baseline to 6-months post-intervention |
