Detaillierte Beschreibung
The project has two primary aims and one exploratory aim. 1.0 Revise and adapt the Live Network (LN) program and manual for rural persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and develop into a mobile application.
2.0 Conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of the program. When compared with an educational music control condition at 3, 6, and 9 months post-baseline, those randomized to the LN will have: H1: Significantly higher mean antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence rates (measured by pill counts, self report).
H2: Significantly higher mean levels of ART drug levels in hair sample analyses.
H3: Significantly better clinical indicators: higher mean CD4 lymphocyte counts and percents, a larger proportion achieving virologic suppression (proportion with HIV RNA PCR <50 copies/ml), and smaller proportion with evidence of drug resistance, all as measured by medical record review.
3.0 Explore: a) the effects of LN on symptoms and symptom management; b) the roles of self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, and personal goal setting as mediators, and depression and health literacy as moderators of adherence.

Aktiver Komparator: Educational music mobile app
A prerecorded program of songs on various topics in a mobile phone application (app).
It is designed to provide education about non-health related topics and will be equivalent in length to the intervention app.

|
|
Experimental: Live Network mobile phone App
The LN is a prerecorded mobile phone application (app).
It employs a radio talk show format in which a Disc Jockey entertains HIV medication-, adherence-, and self-management-related questions and comments from callers and poses them to expert care providers, whose responses to these questions are augmented by songs that shed additional light on these issues.

Change in Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Adherence Rates
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 3 months post-baseline, 6 months post-baseline and 9 months post-baseline
|
Adherence rate was measured with the Antiretroviral General Adherence Scale (AGAS) which measures the general ease and ability to take one's medication as prescribed in the past 30 days.
It includes 5 items scored 1 to 6, with the possible scores for this instrument ranging from 5 to 30, and higher scores reflect better adherence.

Change in Antiretroviral (ART) Drug Levels in Hair Sample Analyses.
Zeitfenster: 3, 6, and 9 months post-baseline
|
No data available due to inability of the lab to accurately extract drug from hair.

Clinical Indicator: Change in Mean CD4 Percentage
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 9 months post-intervention, 9 to 12 months post-intervention
|
CD4 count is a test that measures the number of CD4 cells in your blood.
CD4 cells, also known as T cell lymphocytes, are white blood cells that fight infection and play an important role in your immune system.
A CD4 count is used to check the health of the immune system in people infected with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).
The count measures the number of CD4 cells in a small sample of blood.
The percent of CD4 cells measure the percentage of all lymphocytes that are CD4 cells.
The study assesses the percentage of CD4 lymphocytes over time.

Clinical Indicator: Number of Participants With Non-detectable Viral Load
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 9 months post-intervention, 9 to 12 months post-intervention
|
Change in number of participants with viral load presented as number of copies if <50 copies versus ≥ 50 copies.
Subjects were coded as having non-detectable viral loads if the "load" was < 50 copies.
The analyses performed reflects the number of subjects with non-detectable load (<50) at Baseline, 3 months post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 9 months post-intervention, 9 to 12 months post-intervention.
