Official title

Efficacy Trial of a Brief Health Enhancement Intervention for Newly Diagnosed Men

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The study involves delivering one of two interventions - either Promoting Action Towards Health (PATH) or Personalized Cognitive Counseling (PCC) - to 440 men who have sex with men (MSM) who have recently been diagnosed with HIV and assessing whether participants who received PATH achieve greater suppression of HIV viral load, demonstrate greater uptake of care and adherence to treatment, and engage in less sexual HIV transmission risk behavior than participants who received PCC. * PATH consists of two preliminary sessions plus "booster" sessions after 1, 3, and 6 months. * Personalized Cognitive Counseling consists of one session. Participants will complete assessments before participating in their intervention (i.e., at "baseline") and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 month follow-up points. Participants' viral loads will be measured at approximately 6 and 12 months following baseline.
