• Description:
  CHOICES is a small-group (5–10 women), skills training intervention designed to reduce STD infections and risky sex behaviors of women at risk for STDs, including HIV. The intervention focuses on skills that emphasize initial behavior change as well as the maintenance of behavior change over time. Motivational and decision-making exercises help women choose safer sex strategies best suited to their circumstances; and skill building exercises, using role plays, teach how to implement these successfully. Skills include using condoms correctly, negotiating safe sex with their partners, and creating lifestyle balance. The intervention also encourages women to evaluate their relationship choices, and explore how those choices affect their health and well–being.
