A Small Group Intervention to Reduce HIV Sexual Transmission Risk Behaviour Among HIV Positive Men Who Have Sex With Men: Gay Positive Sex (GPS)
FY 2010-11
Summary
The primary objective of this project is to assess a peer-delivered HIV prevention intervention for HIV-positive gay men by comparing it against a waitlist control group. This project builds on findings from a previously CIHR funded project that focused on developing, implementing, and evaluating the current intervention which is called Gay Positive Sex (GPS). GPS follows a framework through which Motivational Interviewing techniques are used in order to improve the sexual health and well-being of gay men. GPS comes at a time when HIV rates have begun to rise among men who have sex with men, and when rates of unprotected sex have been rising among HIV-positive men.
The secondary objective of the study is to gather data needed to support the future delivering of GPS at multiple AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) across Canada.
