An experimental components analysis of brief HIV risk-reduction counseling based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model was conducted with 432 men and 193 women receiving sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic services. Results suggest that brief single-exposure HIV prevention counseling can reduce HIV transmission risks.
