Counseling sessions were interactive allowing for listening, questions and answers. They were cultural sensitive and also consider issues related to gender and age. Areas covered during the brief counseling included; HIV transmission and prevention, healthy sexual practices, condom use, reduction in multiple sexual partners, beneficial disclosure, and individual risk assessment and reduction strategies. Clinicians evaluated patients' readiness to change risky or maintain safer behaviors. They also assisted the patient to negotiate an individually tailored behavior change or maintenance plan of action.
