SmartManage for the Reduction of Symptom Burden in HIV+ Gay and Bisexual Men Treated for Non-Metastatic Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This clinical trial studies the use of a new, web-based program called SmartManage in reducing symptom burden in sexual minority men living with both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and cancer that has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). The limited research on sexual minority men with cancer suggest that many experience heightened symptom bother, greater decline in psychosocial adjustment, poorer sexual functioning, and overall poorer wellbeing relative to heterosexual men. Furthermore, sexual minority men with cancer experience significant concerns around minority status and stigmatization. SmartManage is a cognitive behavioral stress and self-management intervention that may address the unique needs of HIV+ gay and bisexual men living with non-metastatic cancer.
