Study Details

The overall goal of this 5-year Mentored Research Scientist Development K01-Award is to support Henna Budhwani, PhD, MPH to become an independent implementation science investigator in the field of HIV prevention. The proposed project seeks to address the HIV crisis in Alabama, where rates of undiagnosed HIV in black young men who have sex with men (YMSM, 18-29 years) exceed 20%. This project will adapt and test a behavioral intervention to promote HIV rapid testing in the community, deliver culturally appropriate prevention education, offer sociostructural support, and refer eligible participants for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Four training objectives are proposed that are in lockstep with three specific aims.

Arms

  • Experimental: aBSB
    aBSB is the adaptation of BSB. BSB a two part intervention to improve rates of community-based HIV testing and prevention education in black young MSM (YMSM). BSB was developed on Information Motivation Behavioral Skills (IMB) theory. The first part of BSB uses Motivational Interviewing in a culturally appropriate way to encourage participants to accept testing and return for test results. The second part is conducted after the participant has received his result, assuming it was not reactive and offers prevention education.
  • Active Comparator: Street Outreach
    Standard street outreach was used as the control in the original BSB trial.
