Summary

The purpose of this study is to use technology to improve symptom status and ultimately improve patient centered outcomes in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The primary purpose of the intervention (VIP-HANA) is to improve symptom status. The investigators hypothesize that VIP-HANA will improve symptom frequency and intensity.

Detailed description

As PLWHA age, they are developing chronic illnesses and co-morbid conditions that are often seen in older HIV negative patients. HANA conditions (e.g., cardiovascular disease, liver disease, diabetes, and asthma) are becoming more common as PLWHA age. An individual's ability to identify and self-manage symptoms of HIV illness has been shown to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. The investigators will develop and pilot test the Video Information Provider (VIP), a web application (app) that delivered HIV-related symptom self-care strategies for PLWHA for 13 common (non-HANA) HIV/AIDS symptoms. There is a need to identify the symptom experience of PLWHA with HANA conditions. The aim is to compare the efficacy of VIP-HANA to a control arm for ameliorating symptom frequency and intensity and secondary health outcomes in 100 PLWHA with HANA conditions over 6 months.
