About This HIV Study in Indianapolis

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if depression treatment improves insulin resistance, or how the body uses insulin to lower blood sugar, in people with HIV on HIV treatment. Researchers will compare an internet-based (online) depression treatment program called cognitive behavioral therapy with depression education. In the online group, participants will undergo 9 weekly treatment sessions. The education group will receive learning materials about depression and will be monitored every month. All participants will have 4 study visits over 12 months.
