• Description:
  The HIV Education and Testing intervention consists of an educational component and an HIV blood test for STD patients. The educational component includes a (a) written pamphlet that explicitly discusses safe and unsafe sexual acts and explains condom use; (b) 15 -minute video that examines HIV risk behavior, promotes condom use, and discusses potential risks with sex partners; and (c) 10-minute, one-on-one counseling session with a physician. The counseling session, which includes all usual aspects of HIV pretest counseling, focuses on assessing personal risk, discussing the elements of HIV testing, and answering any questions about HIV/AIDS or testing. After completing the educational module, intervention participants have blood drawn for an HIV test. Test results are revealed approxim ately 2 weeks after study entry and are accompanied by the same risk reduction messages as those presented during the pre-test counseling (for seronegative results) or in-depth counseling (for seropositive results).
