Summary

The investigator propose to culturally adapt the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MSBR) intervention for Black/African American women living with HIV (WLWH) to reduce stress and enhance HIV self-care behaviors and viral load (VL) suppression, which has the potential to attenuate prominent racial and gender disparities experienced by Black WLWH in the US. Specifically, the investigator aims to 1) culturally adapt the MBSR intervention for Black WLWH using ADAPT-ITT; 2) pre-pilot the adapted intervention via an open non-randomized pilot study to further refine the culturally adapted intervention; and 3) conduct a 2-armed randomized pilot test of the behavioral intervention compared to standard of care to assess the feasibility and acceptability the adapted MBSR intervention for Black WLWH. The investigator hypothesis that the adapted intervention will be feasible and acceptable to member of the target population.
