The main question it aims to answer are: * to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention program on PTSD symptoms and related physiological and psychological indicators of PLWH through empirical research. * to analyze the mechanism of the intervention. Eligible PLWH were recruited and randomly divided as intervention group and control group. The efficacy of Trauma Resiliency Mindfulness-Informed Intervention on PTSD symptoms and related physiological and psychological indicators in PLWH was evaluated at baseline, after intervention, and 3 months after intervention through this randomized controlled trial. Researchers compared the intervention group and control group to see if it was feasible and had potential clinical value to introduce the Trauma Resiliency Mindfulness-Informed intervention program into the management of PLWH in China.
