Protocol Status: In Development

Study Summary

Study Purpose: To evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of an individual-level behavioral intervention for individuals identified as acutely infected with HIV aimed at reducing the risk of sexual HIV transmission to their uninfected partners, particularly during this highly infectious initial phase.

Study Design: An exploratory, multi-site, non- controlled, non-randomized, longitudinal intervention study.

Study Population: Individuals diagnosed with Acute HIV Infection and clinicians and other providers who deliver the prevention intervention

Study Size: 60 individuals with AHI, depending on numbers identified, and approximatley 20 clinicians/counselros who delivered the intervention.

Study Duration: The study will be conducted over approximately 2 years. Participant enrollment will take approximately 15 months. Participants will be followed weekly for the first 4 weeks and then monthly for a total of 6 months.

Treatment Regimen: A clinician/counselor-driven, individual counseling intervention, delivered over a series of four counseling sessions. The first session will occur as soon as possible after diagnosis with acute HIV infection. Three subsequent sessions will be delivered one week apart. A booster session will be delivered one month after completion of the last intervention session.

Primary Objectives: 1. To examine the feasibility of enrolling and delivering an individual-level counseling intervention to individuals in the acute phase of HIV infection. 2. To evaluate the acceptability of an individual-level counseling intervention aimed at individuals in the acute phase of HIV infection.

Secondary Objectives: 1. To explore the effectiveness of an individual-level counseling intervention aimed at individuals in the acute phase of HIV infection in reducing HIV transmission. 2. To describe risk behavior and participant perceptions of infectiousness post acute phase of HIV infection.
