• Description:
  Sharing Medical Adherence Responsibilities Together (SMART) Couples is a couple-level intervention administered to individual couples. The intervention addresses adherence to antiretroviral therapy and safer sex behaviors within the dyad by fostering active support for the HIV-positive partner from their HIV-negative partner, and vice-versa. The intervention included cognitive-behavioral components to identify barriers, reinforce health-care behaviors, and problem-solving strategies to overcome adherence barriers. Key components include education about the importance of adherence to avoid viral resistance and maintain health and identifying patterns of non-adherence, and increasing social support for positive health outcomes.
