Summary

We Prevent seeks to develop and pilot test a developmentally-appropriate relationship skills session as an addition to the current Couples HIV Testing and Counseling (CHTC) intervention for young gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (YMSM). This project involves three phases to develop and pilot test the intervention. Phase I collected brief quantitative survey data, in-depth qualitative interview data, and cognitive interview data from YMSM and feedback from a technical expert group (TEG) to develop and refine the two-session intervention. Phase II involved conducting a one-arm pilot of the intervention condition to further refine the intervention content with a sample of 12 YMSM (6 dyads). Phase III involves conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the relationship-focused intervention to a control condition, which is HIV Testing, Counseling, and Referrals (CTR) alone with a sample of 320 YMSM.
