Summary

This study tests whether adding a communication skills video and a substance use module to standard couples HIV testing can help male couples reduce drug use and risky sex. About 484 male couples are randomly assigned to receive standard testing alone or with one or both extra modules. The goal is to see if these additions lower drug use, increase condom use, and reduce sexually transmitted infections.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
communication skills training video and substance use module
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to reduce drug use and HIV risk among male couples.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may vary by couple. It is still active but not recruiting, and findings may not apply to all populations.
