Think Twice: Best Evidence – Risk Reduction

Details

• Description:
  Think Twice is an individual-level, single session intervention. It focuses on highlighting misbeliefs about selecting sex partners; shaping accurate beliefs and perceptions of risk about the use of serosorting for HIV/STI prevention; and determining a practical, risk - reduction strategy tailored to each participant. A graphic novel is used to convey messages about serosorting. The counselor uses the story to identify behaviors and situations that may lead to becoming HIV infected. Guided by the conflict theory of decision -making, the counselor and participant work together to identify ways that the story character can reduce HIV risk. The participant creates a sexual network diagram to examine his own recent sex partners and sexual behaviors. The diagram is then used to compare his decisions and sexual behaviors to those of the story character. Together, the counselor and participants then develop a customized risk-reduction plan from a menu of harm-reduction options.
