Study Summary

Cigarette smoking is now the leading killer of people with HIV (PWH) in the US, and most cessation strategies tried to date have failed to increase long-term quit rates. An "all or none" approach to smoking cessation in PWH offers little benefit to the large majority of PWH who are unable or unwilling to quit. In this proposal we argue that a harm reduction approach (i.e., cut down, get screened for lung cancer, control your blood pressure and cholesterol) has the potential to yield significant benefits in terms of the private and public health of PWH in the US.

Primary Outcome

Change in the number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) from baseline will be determined. Results will be summarized by study arm using basic descriptive statistics. The study will have 80% power to detect a difference of 3.4 CPD between the two study conditions.
