NCT ID: NCT02733692 Completed - HIV Clinical Trials

Culturally Congruent HIV Risk Reduction App for Young Women, an Acceptability & Pilot Evaluation

Start date: July 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Smartphone applications and mobile technologies offer users the potential to access critical information (e.g., proper condom use, directions to testing sites, and other sexual and reproductive health services) when it is needed most. Relevant findings will identify areas where existing interventions may be leveraged and adapted to work among young women of color in an urban setting and their networks. As SRH smartphone apps continue to proliferate, this study will expand researchers', developers', and health educators' limited knowledge about the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a sexual health educational app tailored with and for young Black and Latino women, aged 18-25 in NYC, including whether this app acts as a gateway to sexual health educators, clinical and other service providers. If proven effective, findings from this study will identify areas where existing interventions may be leveraged and adapted to work among a YBLW and their networks, and potentially adapted for other high needs communities.

NCT ID: NCT02536612 Completed - HIV Clinical Trials

Empower, Nudge: Increasing Dual Protection in South Africa

EN
Start date: May 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to test feasibility and acceptability of a lottery to help women in Cape Town, South Africa to continue using long-acting reversible contraceptives to avoid unintended pregnancies, and to also use condoms to reduce sexually transmitted infections including HIV.

NCT ID: NCT02128594 Completed - STDs Clinical Trials

Serosorting Intervention for HIV Negative MSM

Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Men who have sex with men make up a majority of incident HIV infections, however few effective interventions to prevent HIV transmission among this group exist. African American men who have sex with men (AAMSM) are disproportionately infected with STI/HIV and little is understood about how the role of stigma impacts their linkage and retention to health care during treatment. Effective strategies for reducing HIV related risk taking are urgently needed to prevent further spread of the HIV epidemic. The proposed research will test a behavioral intervention, which can be used during routine public health services, designed to reduce HIV risks posed by sexual partner selection strategies. The proposed research will also identify treatment barriers among MSM who test HIV/STI positive. Effective strategies for reducing social barriers to health care treatment rely on a comprehensive and thorough investigation into social barriers that affect AAMSM to effectively engage in medical care. These areas of research will be focused on for the current trial.

NCT ID: NCT01170741 Completed - Clinical trials for Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Computer-Assisted Tailored Cue-card Health [CATCH] Study

CATCH
Start date: June 2010
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This study will draw from proven interventions to refine and pilot test a cue card driven computer-assisted intervention, along with HIV/STI testing, that will be tailored to each participant's demographic characteristics, risk behaviors, and biological test results. The specific aims of the proposed study are: 1. To refine a cue card driven computer-assisted risk reduction intervention that will be tailored to each participant's demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, ethnicity), risk behaviors, and biological test results (HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis and herpes). 2. To pilot test the tailored intervention's effects on sexual risk behaviors (e.g., frequency of unprotected sex, condom use), drug use during sex and injection risk behaviors (e.g., direct syringe sharing, indirect sharing practices) using a two-group randomized design that compares the tailored intervention with a delayed treatment control condition. 3. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the tailored intervention in a rural setting.
