• Description:
  There are two RESPECT interventions – Brief Counseling (Best-evidence) and Enhanced Counseling (Good-evidence). Both are one-on-one, client-focused HIV/STD prevention counseling interventions, consisting of either 2 (Brief) or 4 (Enhanced) interactive counseling sessions. In the first session (20 minutes) of both Brief and Enhanc ed Counseling interventions, HIV counselors help STD clinic patients to identify personal risk factors and barriers to risk reduction and work with patients to develop an achievable personalized risk-reduction plan. HIV-antibody testing is offered at the end of the first session. The second session of the Brief Counseling intervention (20 minutes) includes a discussion of the HIV test result and additional counseling to support patient-initiated behavior change and help patients develop a longer-term risk-reduction plan. Patients in the Enhanced Counseling intervention receive three weekly 60-minutes counseling sessions in addition to the first session. The additional sessions address condom use attitudes, social norms , and support for condom use; build condom use self-efficacy; discuss prior week's behavior change success and barriers; and develop a strategy for taking a risk-reduction step before the next session. If the patient had an HIV test done at the end of the first session, the HIV test result is given at the end of the third session and a longer -term personalized riskreduction plan is developed at that time.
