Summary

Gay Poz Sex (GPS) is a peer-facilitated holistic sexual health program for gay and bisexual HIV-positive men. Groups of five to eight men attend eight weekly sessions which cover basic sexual health information, review the current legal context surrounding HIV non-disclosure and use motivational interviewing (MI) to support participants in setting and achieving personal goals.

In this randomized control trial phase of the research, the investigators are assessing the efficacy of the group counseling intervention, GPS. Participants are randomized to receive GPS immediately or to a wait list/standard of care condition. Participants are followed for a 6 month period and are asked to complete baseline quantitative assessments, as well as two qualitative interviews.
