About this study
This research study uses a cluster randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effectiveness of Treatment Text (TXTXT) intervention on adherence and viral load suppression at 3- and 6- months post intervention initiation for youth and young adults with HIV. A total of 12 clinics will be randomized into one of the following two conditions:
- Comparison Arm (n=6 clinics)- Clinics randomized to the comparison arm will have participants receive the standard of care for 3 months, followed by a 3-month intervention period.
- Intervention Arm (n=6 clinics)- Clinics randomized to the intervention arm will have participants receive the TXTXT intervention for 6 months.
Read the detailed description
In this study investigators propose to use implementation science (IS) to scale up and evaluate the TXTXT evidence-based intervention (EBI) as an effective strategy to increase ART adherence and retention in HIV care, ultimately leading to a suppression of viral load in youth and young adults with HIV (YYALH) participating in the intervention. Investigators hypothesize that participants who complete the TXTXT intervention will demonstrate a clinically meaningful increase in ART adherence, viral suppression, and sustained retention in care. Additionally, investigators hypothesize that the implementation of TXTXT will reach ≥80% of the intended participants, will be fully adopted by ≥80% of clinic partners, and will achieve ≥90% ratings of satisfaction and acceptability. Investigators will use mixed methods to complete the study aims: 1) determine the real-world efficacy of a regional scale up of an EBI - TXTXT - among poorly adherent YYALH, aged 16-35 years, on our primary outcomes: adherence and viral load suppression at 3-month post initiation of the intervention; and secondary outcome: retention in HIV care at 6- and 12-months post baseline, and 2) apply the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to describe the implementation process and identify barriers and facilitators needed to be addressed; and measure implementation outcomes of the TXTXT intervention using the RE-AIM framework (Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance). Investigators will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate the intervention effectiveness (i.e., ART adherence, viral load suppression) at 3- and 6-months post-initiation of the intervention. Twelve clinic sites with the ability to enroll up to 50 participants at each site (N=600 participants total) will be trained to administer the TXTXT intervention. Sites will be randomized to either start the intervention immediately (i.e., intervention arm) or waitlisted to start at 3 months post baseline (i.e., comparison arm). In the comparison arm, the study will compare pre-post differences in adherence at 3- and 6-months post baseline. Last, investigators will evaluate retention in HIV care, viral suppression, and sustained impact of the intervention at 6 months and 12 months post baseline for all study participants.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Treatment Text (TXTXT)Behavioural
This study will test a tailored, personalized SMS text message reminder intervention to improve adherence to ART among non-adherent youth and young adults with HIV. Participants will use their own cell phones for receipt of the intervention. Participants will have the option to choose a tailored personalized message that may be changed as requested throughout the 6-month intervention period. Participants will be asked to send a text message response indicating that that have successfully (or not) taken their meds per schedule. No identifying patient information will be included in the SMS text to protect patient confidentiality.
Standard of CareBehavioural
Standard of care ART adherence support includes adherence counseling during visits scheduled at least twice annually and appointment reminders.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Comparison | Active comparator | Clinics randomized to the comparison arm will have participants receive standard of care ART adherence support for 3 months, and will receive the TXTXT intervention for 3 months. The standard of care for ART adherence across clinic sites consists of routine follow-up from assigned case managers for appointment reminders and adherence counseling at scheduled visits . Receives: Behavioral: Standard of Care |
| Intervention | Experimental | Clinics randomized to the intervention arm will have participants complete a 6-month intervention period. Clinics will sign up eligible participants to receive automated SMS messages from the Dimagi CommCare platform during the participant's baseline study visit. Participants will have the option to tailor the message content based on their own preferences and will be able to select to receive messages in English or in Spanish, the time the messages are delivered, and frequency of messages. Clinic staff will enter this information in the Dimagi CommCare platform, and then test receipt of text messages by the participant before they complete this baseline visit. Receives: Behavioral: Treatment Text (TXTXT) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
HIV-1 RNA Viral Load
A documented viral load measured by nucleic acid test (NAT) less than (<) 200 copies/mL will be considered virally suppressed. The minimum value is 20 copies/mL and the maximum is 10,000,000 copies/mL. A higher value indicates a worse outcome. Time frame: 6 months, 12 months.
Measured: Up to 12 months
HIV Medication Adherence
Medication adherence will be measured via self-reported visual analog scale. The minimum value is 0% and the maximum value is 100%. A higher value indicates a better outcome. Adherence will be considered reporting greater than or equal to 90% on self-reported visual analog scale and non- adherence categorized at less than 90%. Time frame: 3 months, 6 months
Measured: Up to 12 months

This research study uses a cluster randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effectiveness of Treatment Text (TXTXT) intervention on adherence and viral load suppression at 3- and 6- months post intervention initiation for youth and young adults with HIV. A total of 12 clinics will be randomized into one of the following two conditions:

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
HIV-1 RNA Viral Load (time frame: Up to 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05783297, which also lists 41 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jun 2026.
