| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a peer-based HIV prevention intervention that
targets active injection drug users and their drug and sex partners.
|
| Study summary: |
|
HIV seroincidence among injection drug users remains high, with unprotected sexual contact
substantially contributing to new HIV infections among IDUs. Interventions that are
culturally competent and target drug users' main sex and drug partners may be especially
effective for HIV/STI and HCV control and prevention.
The intervention to be tested in this study draws upon theoretical and empirical evidence
suggesting that peer educator programs can have significant effects on the risk-related
behaviors of both the educators and the peers whom they educate. Specifically, through
group and individual focused sessions, participants learn and practice skills designed to
reduce drug and sex related risk behaviors. Furthermore, individuals and their main risk
partners attend a training session that focuses on risk reduction within their relationship. |
