• 1 other identifier: OUCOM-MI-1
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 100
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The number of late middle-age and older adults living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. continues to rise due largely to

• better clinical care and the improved efficacy of highly active antiretroviral therapy that has extended the lives of many HIV-positive persons
• an increase in the number of new HIV infections in older persons. This study tested the efficacy of 1- and 4-session telephone-administered behavioral sexual risk reduction interventions for HIV-positive adults 45-plus years of age who engage in risky sexual behaviors.
