Description:

Options/Opciones is an individual-level, clinician-delivered HIV risk reduction intervention for HIV-positive persons during their routine clinical care visits and repeated at each visit. The intervention consists of a brief, patient-centered discussion (5-10 minutes) between clinician and patient at each clinic visit. Based on motivational interviewing techniques, clinicians evaluate sexual and drug-use behaviors of HIV-positive patients, assess the patient’s readiness to change risky (or maintain safer) behaviors, and elicit various methods from patients for moving toward change or maintaining safer behaviors. Clinician and patient then negotiate an individually tailored behavior change goal or plan of action, which is written on a prescription pad, for the participant to achieve by the next visit.
