This study is testing a peer-led intervention to help pregnant and new moms with HIV stay healthy. A peer-led intervention means that women who have gone through similar experiences will offer support and guidance. The goal is to help these moms continue their HIV care after their babies are born. The study will have three meetings before the baby is born (prenatal) and two after the baby is born (postpartum) within the first three months. Participants will also stay in touch with their peer helpers through texts or calls. This study is happening in cities like Philadelphia and Atlanta where HIV rates are high among black and Hispanic women. The study hopes to keep 260 women engaged. If you are at least 16, pregnant, living with HIV, and can speak English, you may join. However, you cannot join if you plan to leave the country within a year. This study is important for future mothers and their babies’ health.
- Duration: Meetings start in the third trimester and go up to three months postpartum.
- Communication: Face-to-face sessions plus phone or text support.
- Participants: 260 pregnant women with HIV.
