简要总结
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.
详细描述
HIV seroincidence among injection drug users remains high, with unprotected sexual contact substantially contributing to new HIV infections among injection drug users (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.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Condition
Participants were trained to be Health Educators. The intervention focused on HIV risk reduction by teaching knowledge and skills to reduce injection, drug splitting, and sex risk, and by teaching communication skills to conduct outreach to personal risk network members. The intervention consisted of five group-based sessions, one individual session, and one dyad session with a risk network member.
干预措施: Intervention Condition (Behavioral)
Control Condition
The control condition focused on injection drug-use related topics (e.g. HIV testing, Hepatitis C and drug overdose). The sessions were educational and did not include skills training. The control condition consisted of five group-based sessions.
