HIV Rapid Testing and Counseling in Drug Abuse Treatment Programs in the U.S. (CTN 0032)

Enrollment (Pending)

Description

This is a randomized and controlled clinical trial in which individuals receiving drug abuse treatment will be recruited to participate in a multi-center HIV testing and counseling study. The proposed study will assess the relative effectiveness of three HIV testing strategies, (1) on-site HIV rapid testing with brief, participant-tailored prevention counseling, (2) on-site HIV rapid testing with information only and (3) referral for off-site HIV testing, in increasing receipt of HIV test results. The study will also assess the effectiveness of three testing strategies in reducing risky sexual and drug-using behaviors. This study is planned to be conducted at 12 sites beginning in Fall/Winter 2008.
