An Algorithm Approach to Determining Smoking Cessation Treatment for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS: Results of a Pilot Trial

摘要

BackgroundSmoking now represents one of the biggest modifiable risk factors for disease and mortality in PLHIV. To produce significant changes in smoking rates among this population, treatments will need to be both acceptable to the larger segment of PLHIV smokers as well as feasible to implement in busy HIV clinics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effects of a novel proactive algorithm-based intervention in an HIV/AIDS clinic.
