This is an observational study that follows people to better understand how HIV and other infections (like sexually transmitted infections) happen and change over time. It may help researchers improve prevention and care, but it is mainly for monitoring rather than testing a new treatment.
This study tests a mobile phone program designed to help people with HIV manage their health and connect with care. Researchers are also asking healthcare workers and caregivers for their feedback on what would help most.
