Electronic SBI(RT) for MSM in Argentina

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The main goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 200 participants is to establish the processes and procedures for a subsequent large-scale efficacy trial of an electronic-Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (e-SBI-RT) program tailored for men who have sex with men awaiting their HIV test at Nexo Asociacion Civil, our community partners in Buenos Aires. The tablet-based e-SBI will integrate substance use and sexual risk behavior screeners and individually tailored Motivational Interviewing (MI) as the BI. The Specific Aims of this R34 study are to: 1. develop the e-SBI intervention for MSM in an HIV testing context to reduce substance use and HIV risk behavior (Primary); 2. assess the feasibility and acceptability of integrating e-SBI into the HIV testing process at Nexo; and 3. assess the feasibility and acceptability of implementing the adapted Men's Health Project (MHP; a 4-session Motivational Interviewing intervention to reduce substance use and sexual risk behavior) at Nexo. Although this pilot RCT is not powered to detect differences across arms, as an exploratory aim, we will also assess preliminary findings on changes in substance use and sexual risk behavior.
