Intervention for Virologic Suppression in Youth

The SOC arm will include the current care delivery model: regularly scheduled visits with a healthcare provider and lab testing every 3-6 months or more/less frequently depending on the individual's HIV health outcomes (e.g., VL suppression). At each assessment, the investigators will review 149 SOC participant responses to examine acute need for referral for medical, psychological, or substance use services. In between assessments, the investigators will also do monthly check-ins to improve retention and check contact information.

"The intervention tailors the telehealth counseling according to the individual's needs. Tailoring occurs based on the participant's baseline MH, SU, and HIV knowledge/outcomes and assessment responses inform the sessions on these topics. Participants choose from a list identified in the menu sessions: HIV care, MH, SU, lifestyle, health, social support, family of origin, romantic and sexual relationships, self-identity and disclosure, subsistence needs, education and vocation, and a wildcard session.~WYZ contains 3 main features: My Health, My Team, and My Community. Tailoring is achieved based on the individual's needs at a given time (e.g., My Community may be used more if social isolation is a barrier)."
