Brief Summary: The efficacy of counseling to prevent infection with the human immunodeficiency virus HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases STDs has not been definitively shown This multi-center randomized controlled trial Project RESPECT sought to compare the effects of 2 interactive HIVSTD counseling interventions with didactic prevention messages typical of current practice
A total of 5758 STD clinic patients were enrolled from 5 public STD clinics Baltimore Md Denver Colo Long Beach Calif Newark NJ and San Francisco Calif between July 1993 and September 1996 Eligible participants were heterosexual HIV-negative patients aged 14 years or older who came for full STD examinations Using a block design participating men and women were randomzied separately to 1 of 3 individual face-to-face interventions Arm 1 received enhanced counseling consisting of 4 interactive counseling sessions based on the Theory of Reasoned Action and Health Belief Model Arm 2 received brief counseling consisting of 2 interactive risk-reduction sessions based on CDCs client-centered counseling model Arms 3 and 4 each received 2 brief didactic messages about HIVSTD prevention messages typical of current care at that time Participants assigned to Arms 1 2 and 3 were actively followed up after enrollment with questionnaires at 3 6 9 and 12 months and STD laboratory examinations and tests at 6 and 12 months An intent-to-treat analysis was used to compare interventions Arm 4 participants were followed passively to determine potential effects of active study follow-up
The main outcome measures were self-reported condom use and new diagnoses of STDs gonorrhea chlamydia syphilis HIV defined by laboratory tests
Results At the 3- and 6-month follow-up visits self-reported 100 condom use was higher P05 in both the enhanced counseling and brief counseling arms compared with participants in the didactic messages arm Through the 6-month interval 30 fewer participants had new STDs in both the enhanced counseling 72 P 002 and brief counseling 73P005 arms compared with those in the didactic messages arm 104 Through the 12-month study 20 fewer participants in each counseling intervention had new STDs compared with those in the didactic messages arm P 008 Consistently at each of the 5 study sites STD incidence was lower in the counseling intervention arms than in the didactic messages intervention arm Reduction of STD was similar for men and women and greater for adolescents and persons with an STD diagnosed at enrollment
Subset analyses found that
Based on these results we conclude that short counseling interventions using personalized risk reduction plans can increase condom use and prevent new STDs Effective counseling can be conducted even in busy public clinics
