About this trial

The goal of this waitlist control clinical trial is to learn if the tailored LEARN 2 platform can prevent HIV-related comorbidities with shared risk factors in men ages 18 and older living with HIV. The main question\[s\] are:

1. Can the virtual environment improve quality of life among these participants? 2. Does the LEARN 2 platform effectively serve as prevention education for HIV comorbidity shared risk factors?

Researchers will compare participants receiving the LEARN2 virtual environment intervention to those in a waitlist control group to see if the intervention leads to improvements in quality of life and reductions in risk factors.

Participants will be asked to:

1. Engage with the virtual environment weekly. 2. Participate in virtual live health educator sessions. 3. Complete daily assessments of personal health behaviors through Ecological Momentary Assessment.
