Rapid vs. Standard HIV Testing in Bathhouses
Building stakeholder partnerships for an on‐site HIV testing programme
Because of the large number of individuals at risk for HIV infection who visit gay saunas and sex clubs, these venues are useful settings in which to offer HIV outreach programmes for voluntary counselling and testing (VCT). Nevertheless, establishing a successful VCT programme in such a setting can be a daunting challenge, in large part because there are many barriers to managing the various components likely to be involved. Using qualitative da…
Making Sure Research Is Used
Academic research, no matter how innovative, will never make a difference in the lives of people unless it is disseminated in an appropriate and timely manner to providers and organizations serving the public. Yet many researchers are not trained, rewarded, or supported to disseminate research findings. The Community Advisory Board (CAB) of the University of California, San Francisco, Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) developed a set guid…
The Efficacy of Female Condom Skills Training in HIV Risk Reduction Among Women
Objectives. We evaluated the efficacy of skills training designed to increase female condom use among women. Methods.

You can't do nothing in this damn place”
In an effort to deepen our understanding of how circumstances of forced separation and the interdiction of physical contact affect women's sexual behavior, we investigated the development and maintenance of heterosexual couples' intimacy when the male partner is incarcerated. As HIV-prevention scientists who work with women visiting men at a California state prison, we recognize that correctional control extends to these women's bodies, both when…
HIV Infection and Pregnancy Status Among Adults Attending Voluntary Counseling and Testing in 2 Developing Countries
Objectives. This study investigated the impact of HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) on reproduction planning among 1634 adults in 2 sub-Saharan countries. Methods. Data were obtained from a multisite randomized controlled trial. Results. At 6 months post-VCT, the women more likely to be pregnant were younger (odds ratio [OR] = 2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0, 6.5), not using contraceptives (OR = 0.1; 95% CI = 0.1, 0.3), and HIV i…
Positive and negative life events after counselling and testing
INTRODUCTION: The results of the Voluntary HIV-1 Counselling and Testing Efficacy Study support the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of HIV voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) for reducing risk behaviors in three developing countries. METHODS: This report explores the social consequences of HIV VCT by examining the incidence of positive and negative life events at the first follow-up (an average of 7.3 months after recruitment). The incidence …

Counsellors' perspectives on the experience of providing HIV counselling in Kenya and Tanzania
Demand for HIV counselling services is increasing in developing counties, but there have been few previous studies that describe counsellors' roles and experiences providing HIV-related counselling in developing countries. Such information can be used to better supervise and support counsellors and thereby improve counselling services. As a sub-study of the Voluntary Counseling and Testing Efficacy Study, we conducted focus groups and individual …

Antibody testing and condom use among heterosexual African Americans at risk for HIV infection
OBJECTIVES: This study describes predictions of condom use and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody testing in a population-based sample of African-American heterosexuals who reported HIV risk behavior. METHODS: Data were taken from the National AIDS Behavioral Surveys. RESULTS: Of the African-American respondents, 22% reported some risk for HIV infection; of those, 24% had been tested for HIV. CONCLUSIONS: Prevention messages encouraging …
Couple communication, sexual coercion, and HIV risk reduction in Kigali, Rwanda

STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey of a longitudinal cohort. METHODS: In 1988, women recruited for an epidemiological study of HIV, and interested male partners, received confidential HIV testing and counseling. Two years after enrollment, 876 women reporting one steady partner in the past y…
