Informational group
A pamphlet will be provided to the participants with information about ART adherence, HIV and relapse prevention.
Text Messaging CBT (TXT-CBT)
Those assigned to TXT-CBT will be given a treatment manual (developed in Phase I) containing descriptions of core therapeutic content/topics for each week. HIV-infected participants will have initial meeting with a CBT clinician to review the core CBT concepts for promoting ART adherence. The 3 most applicable medication adherence skills will be identified for emphasis in tailored messages. A research coordinator will meet with the participants weekly at data collection visits throughout the intervention phase to answer any technical questions and ensure that the intervention program is working properly.
