• Description:
  Living in Good Health Together or “light” is a 7-session, small-group HIV-risk reduction intervention to stimulate motivation for behavior change along with individualized skill building required to accomplish personal HIV-related goals. The intervention covers topics, including HIV/AIDS knowledge, identification and management of triggers for risk acts, problem-solving in risk situations, condom use, interpersonal assertiveness to negotiate safer sex, and maintenance of new behavioral routines. Each session has a focus, but skills are reinforced and practiced throughout the 7 sessions. Each participant practices skills specific to his or her risk circumstances involving steady partners, casual partners, drug - using partners, and other personally relevant relationships. Goals to reduce ri sk are set every session and revised at the following session for feedback, review or problem -solving as appropriate. Each session contains scripted role plays and activities to facilitate group interaction and learning. The intervention is delivered to same-sex small groups of 5 to 15 persons twice weekly.
