Study Purpose
The BRIDGES Project aims to learn about how women living with HIV/AIDS use care services. All women enrolled in the study will be asked to answer surveys about their experiences accessing care, and half of the women enrolled in the study will also attend classes and work with another woman living with HIV/AIDS to access services. The goal of The BRIDGES Project is to learn how to better help women living with HIV/AIDS to access services.
In light of the current situation regarding COVID 19, our study has moved to a virtual (video or phone) format. We have done this in accordance to policy and procedure put out by UC San Diego to ensure the health and wellbeing of our participants
