Clinical Trial Summary

This couples-based, digital health intervention project is serostatus neutral and seeks to determine efficacy for: a) use and adherence to evidence-based HIV/STI prevention-care strategies; b) creation and adherence to a tailored prevention-care plan; c) creation and adherence to a tailored sexual agreement; and d) improvements in other relationship dynamics among male couples who are in a relationship (defined as greater than 3 months or more).


Clinical Trial Description

The project draws on our strong findings from the preliminary work we conducted in the US (R34 pilot randomized control trial & mixed method acceptability project). The 5-year project will revise and update an existing digital health couples-based HIV/STI prevention toolkit intervention that showed promise for reducing couples' HIV risk. The intervention is theoretically grounded in Couples Interdependence Theory for health behavior change. The project is a 16-month randomized control trial with 375 at-risk male couples using a delayed, educational control condition of 8 months. Our Specific Aims are to: 1) examine efficacy of the intervention on couples' a) formation and adherence to a risk-reduction plan and agreement, b) relationship functioning, c) self-reported and biomarker-confirmed indicators of risk (sexual behavior and STI), and engagement in HIV prevention (PrEP adherence) and care (ART adherence); 2) evaluate use of the intervention over time by using three different data sources; 3) explore moderating and mediating effects on couples' outcomes a-c. The project has high Public Health significance given the HIV disparities and the importance of attending to couples' unique relationship and prevention needs. ;
