This project aims to support adults in HIV-affected families in order to improve their well-being. UCLA's Center for Community Health (CCH), in collaboration with the Thai Ministry of Public Health, Bureau of Epidemiology, will implement the Family-to-Family (F2F) intervention in order to improve the social, behavioral and mental health outcomes for families affected by HIV. In Phase 1, the investigators pilot tested the current intervention contents and activities by collecting qualitative data from HIV+ families in the four district hospitals in Chiang Rai and Nakohn Ratchasima provinces selected for the proposed study. The findings from Phase was used to develop intervention content, as well as the format and style of the intervention for Phase 2. In addition, the findings from Phase 1 was used to finalize the assessment measures the investigators will use in Phase 2. In Phase 2, 410 families with HIV+ parents from 4 district hospitals in Chiang Rai & Nakhon Ratchasima Provinces will be recruited to an intervention to benefit their school-aged children aged 6-17 years. At their clinical care site,the investigators randomly assigned families to either: 1) F2F, a psychoeducational intervention for HIV+ parents and family caregivers; or 2) a Standard Care condition. The impact of the F2F intervention will be monitored over 24 months.
