Pilot test of an HIV intervention to aid in the psychosocial adjustment of newly diagnosed youth (diagnosed for less than 15 months) to assess its acceptability and feasibility preliminary to and leading up to a full-scale, randomized trial. Individual sessions and focus groups were conducted across three ATN sites in order to identify the challenges, strengths, and needed areas of support/assistance associated with receiving an HIV diagnosis. These data were used to guide the development of an intervention manual.
