Study Summary

Despite treatment with antiretroviral therapy, women living with HIV continue to experience cognitive impairment. Psychological risk factors, including stress, impair cognition more in HIV-infected women than HIV-uninfected women. This study plans to examine a novel intervention for cognitive dysfunction that targets the mechanisms by which stress negatively affects cognitive functioning.

Primary Outcome

a 12-item list-learning task across 3 trials used to measure total learning. Outcome=total learning across trials (range 0-36). Neuropsychological measures are normed on populations and therefore the clinical significance of a score can be assessed in relation to expected levels of performance.

Interventions

  • DRUG Hydrocortisone
  • DRUG Placebo Oral Tablet
