This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new way to help people living with HIV who also struggle with anxiety and depression. Instead of traveling to an office, you would receive counseling via secure video calls on your phone through an app called PositiveLinks. A trained community health worker would guide you through skill-building sessions designed to improve your mood and reduce worry over about 5 weeks.
Many people living with HIV in rural areas face barriers to mental health care, like long travel distances or limited access to therapists. This study is testing whether this mobile app-based counseling can make mental health support easier to access and more effective for people who need it most.

If you join the counseling group, you'll have about five one-hour video calls with a community health worker over 5 weeks, using the PositiveLinks app on your phone or computer. You'll also complete brief check-ins about your mood and anxiety at the start and throughout the study. The researchers will follow your progress for about 6 months by looking at your health records and app data. If the counseling doesn't help enough, the health worker will connect you with a licensed therapist.
