The proposed study developed and tested two adjunct components for use in Couples HIV Testing and Counseling (CHTC) with gay-male couples: a communication skills training video and a substance use agreement module. Phase I of the study involved the creation of intervention materials and Phase II was comprised of a small randomized controlled trial comparing the additive effects of the novel components to CHTC as usual.
