Overview
Brief Summary
This is an open-trial pilot study in which adult methadone maintenance treatment patients who are living with HIV but are not engaged in HIV primary care (i.e., missed appointments, non-adherence to medication) will be recruited to participate in a HIV primary care engagement study. The purpose of this study is to develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile phone-based health (mHealth) text messaging intervention to improve engagement in HIV primary care among substance abusing populations with HIV.
