Brief cognitive counseling with HIV testing to reduce sexual risk among men who have sex with men: Results from a randomized controlled trial using paraprofessional counselors

The efficacy and acceptability of a single-session personalized cognitive counseling (PCC) intervention delivered by paraprofessionals during HIV voluntary counseling and testing is tested. The results have shown that PCC and usual counseling (UC) interventions are effective in reducing high-risk sexual behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM) repeat testers.

Comparison of three methods to measure HIV incidence among persons seeking voluntary, anonymous counseling and testing

Article Abstract:

Three practical methods are used to estimate human HIV incidence rates using existing data from persons seeking anonymous testing in San Francisco between the years 1996-2002. The 3 methods had complementary strengths and limitations, which might prevent proper interpretation of HIV incidence if any one method is analyzed alone.
