• Description:
  The Seropositive Urban Men’s Intervention Trial (SUMIT) enhanced peer-led intervention is delivered to groups of gay or bisexual men living with HIV in order to reduce risky sexual behavior. Led by HIV-seropositive gay or bisexual peer facilitators, structured group activities focus on sexual and romantic relationships, HIV and STD transmission, drug and alcohol use, assumptions about the HIV status of sex partners, disclosure of HIV status, and mental health. Intervention sessions seek to increase knowledge of sex risk practices, increase motivation to adopt reduced risk practices, encourage disclosure of HIV status to partners, promote personal responsibility to prevent HIV transmission, increase awareness of substance use and mental health issues, and encourage identification and management of personal risk triggers. These topics were delivered using audio and video tapes, didactic presentations, and group discussions.
