The scope of work for this project was to continue assisting in the development, organization, and analysis of the qualitative data in conjunction with quantitative data for the study titled “Relationship Factors and HIV Treatment Adherence”. The specific aims of this study were as follows: (1) Explore longitudinal associations among relationship dynamics, partner support for adherence, and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence within a cohort of HIV serodiscordant and seroconcordant male couples and (2) Develop and pilot a Social Control Theory-informed couples-based adherence support intervention: Duo PACT (Partnership Adherence Commitment Therapy). Findings from this study were used to inform the analysis of quantitative data collected in the larger study. Research suggests that optimal couple functioning depends on adopting a “we” orientation to health.
