Brief Summary
A large (3900 patients) cohort study, undertaken in five European sites to validate in a mHealth platform to enable self-management of HIV in patients with stable disease using a tailored HTA process, Model for Assessment of Telemedicine Applications (MAST), specifically developed for the assessment of mHealth solutions. As site recruitment will be sequential and the recruitment period will last 18 months, a maximum follow-up of 35 Months will be undertaken. Study visits will take place at baseline defined as the time of mHealth introduction, months 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30.

Study Arms (1)
mHealth platform
EXPERIMENTALStable HIV-1 infected subjects will be followed-up using an mHealth platform. The platform will provide users with web based and mobile device applications which interface securely with relevant medical data and facilitate remote access to healthcare providers. The minimum length of follow-up will be 12 months and the maximum 35 months.
Interventions
Use of a mHealth platform to inform and empower patient of hies/her own health
