Month 3 Survey in We Prevent: A Dyadic Approach to HIV Prevention and Care Among Young Male Couples

Month 3 Survey SAS
Study Description
This project sought to develop and refine a developmentally-appropriate relationship skills session as an addition to current HIV Counseling, Testing, and Referrals (CTR) and Couples HIV Testing and Counseling (CHTC) for young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. This project involved three phases to develop and pilot test the intervention, including developing the intervention content, pilot testing the intervention, and conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of the We Prevent intervention (CTR and/or CHTC + a relationship skills component) to CTR alone, both delivered via telemedicine. Participants were recruited online. In the pilot RCT, there were significant differences in condomless sex with outside partners among those in the We Prevent intervention condition compared to the CRT alone control condition; however, there were no differences in other sexual behaviors, sexual agreements, HIV testing, intimate partner violence (IPV), or communication between the conditions across the 9-month follow-ups. The study population included young sexual minority men, inclusive of trans men and nonbinary young people, ages 15-24 in a relationship with cisgender men.

研究概况
本项目旨在开发并优化一套符合发展阶段特点的亲密关系技能课程，作为现有艾滋病咨询、检测与转介（HIV Counseling, Testing, and Referrals, CTR）及伴侣艾滋病检测与咨询（Couples HIV Testing and Counseling, CHTC）服务的补充方案，面向男同性恋、双性恋及其他男男性行为青年群体。本项目包含三个阶段以开发并预试验该干预方案：其一为开发干预内容，其二为开展干预方案预试验，其三为实施预试验随机对照试验（randomized controlled trial, RCT），以对比We Prevent干预方案（即CTR和/或CHTC联合亲密关系技能模块）与单纯CTR服务的可行性、可接受性及有效性，两种服务均以远程医疗形式开展。
研究对象通过线上招募。在该预试验随机对照试验中，We Prevent干预组与单纯CTR对照组相比，其研究对象与外部性伴侣发生无保护性行为的比例存在显著差异；但在9个月的随访周期内，两组在其他性行为、性约定、艾滋病检测、亲密伴侣暴力（intimate partner violence, IPV）或沟通状况方面均无显著差异。
本研究的人群为15至24岁、与顺性别男性建立恋爱关系的性少数男性群体，涵盖跨性别男性与非二元性别青年。
