Brief Summary:
This study will collect information on health status and risk behaviors, as well as basic demographic and biomedical information for a group of HIV positive adolescents receiving care at the ATN sites.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
HIV Other: Observation

Detailed Description:

The proposed study is a cross sectional study intended to be conducted at each of the 15 Adolescent Medicine Trials Units (AMTUs) participating in the ATN and to enroll all participating patients followed at each site. This approach will allow for the examination of the broad spectrum of youth participating in the ATN, including those newly entered into care.

Psychosocial and risk-taking behavioral data will be collected using Audio Compute-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI); biomedical information will be collected through medical chart abstraction.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
AMTU Clients
All HIV-infected adolescents and young adults engaged in care at the 15 sites and their affiliates who are between 12 and 24 years of age, inclusive, are aware of their HIV status and understand written and/or verbal English will be eligible for inclusion in the study. In addition, new patients who have their initial clinic visit within the enrollment period will also be eligible for participation.
 Other: Observation
Participants will have biomedical information extracted from their medical chart, will complete the ACASI questionnaire and have a face-to-face post-ACASI debriefing interview administered. Participants who do not have a documented HIV-1 viral load and/or CD4+ T-cells count from within the previous six months will also have venipuncture performed to obtain a blood sample for these tests to be performed.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rates of adherence to medical regimens, sexual risk behavior, substance use and mental health concerns; basic demographic and biomedical data for adolescents and young adults with HIV infection engaged in care at the AMTUs. [ Time Frame: within 2 weeks of enrollment ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To better understand the complex relationships between adherence to medical regimens, sexual risk behavior, substance use and mental health concerns, and basic demographic and biomedical data in adolescents and young adults with HIV infection. [ Time Frame: 1.3 years ]
