The primary romantic relationship may offer critical opportunities for improving HIV care among key populations affected by high rates of HIV infection and low rates of care engagement, such as black men who have sex with men. A conceptual framework is needed to identify dyadic processes involved in addressing challenges in retention in care and adherence to antiretroviral therapy. This study conducted dyadic and individual-level qualitative analyses of individual interviews with men living with HIV from 14 black gay couples (n = 28). Interviews explored each partner's perspectives on challenges to and supportive strategies for retention in care and medication adherence. Findings highlighted challenges at various levels of care engagement and patterns of dyadic interactions that impeded or facilitated HIV care. Couple-level processes (i.e., couple's resilience, interdependence) underlined a joint problem-solving approach toward addressing challenges in care engagement. Findings support a conceptual framework of dyadic HIV care that highlights the impacts of dyadic and individual factors on coordination of care and treatment to influence retention and adherence. The generalizability of study findings is limited by the small sample size. Implications for intervention design include leveraging drivers of partner support, including couples' resilience, in enhancing joint problem-solving in HIV care among black gay couples.
