This study examined the efficacy of a relationship-based HIV/sexually transmitted disease prevention program for heterosexual couples and whether it is more effective when delivered to the couple or to the woman alone.
Couples (n = 217) were recruited and randomized to (1) 6 sessions provided to couples together (n = 81), (2) the same intervention provided to the woman alone (n = 73), or (3) a 1-session control condition provided to the woman alone (n = 63).
The intervention was effective in reducing the proportion of unprotected and increasing the proportion of protected sexual acts. No significant differences in effects were observed between couples receiving the intervention together and those in which the woman received it alone.
This study demonstrates the efficacy of a relationship-based prevention program for couples at risk for HIV infection.
本研究考察了一项基于关系的预防艾滋病毒/性传播疾病项目对异性恋伴侣的效果,以及该项目针对伴侣双方实施还是仅针对女性实施时效果是否更佳。
招募了217对伴侣并将其随机分为三组:(1)共同接受6次干预的伴侣组(n = 81);(2)仅女性接受相同干预的组(n = 73);(3)仅女性接受1次对照干预的组(n = 63)。
该干预措施在减少无保护性行为比例和增加有保护性行为比例方面有效。共同接受干预的伴侣组与仅女性接受干预的组在效果上未观察到显著差异。
本研究证明了一项基于关系的预防项目对有感染艾滋病毒风险的伴侣是有效的。
