This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing trauma-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy (TFPP) for people living with HIV who also have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This treatment is a type of talk therapy that helps you reflect on your emotions and relationships, and understand how trauma may have affected them. The study team wants to see if this therapy is helpful and acceptable for people with both HIV and PTSD.
People living with HIV experience PTSD at higher rates than the general population, and having both conditions together can make HIV health outcomes worse. However, there's very little research on whether PTSD treatments actually work well for this group, so this study is designed to test whether this therapy could be beneficial.

You would attend twice-weekly talk therapy sessions with a trained therapist for a total of 24 sessions over several months. During these sessions, you'll work with the therapist to explore your emotions, relationships, and how past trauma may have affected you. The study team will also collect some health information and blood samples to understand the connection between stress, inflammation, and PTSD, and to see whether the treatment helps improve these health markers.
