Study Arms (2)

Social Network Endorsement

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants in this arm will receive two intervention elements: (1) they will receive a brief single care-related counseling session and referral to HIV medical care upon enrollment; and (2) all members of the HIV+ social networks will attend a multi-session group intervention during which they will be trained to deliver messages endorsing compliance with medical guidelines and adherence to medical treatment regimens to friends. Additionally, these leaders will be trained how to deliver effective messages.
