The study examined the efficacy of a brief theory-based counseling intervention to reduce sexual HIV risk behaviors among STI clinic patients in St. Petersburg, Russia. Men and women (n = 307) were recruited to receive either: (1) a 60-minute motivational/skills-building counseling session dealing with sexual HIV risk reduction, or (2) written HIV prevention information material. Participants completed baseline, three- and six-month assessments in the period between July 2009 and May 2011. Compared to the control group, the face-to-face counseling intervention showed significant increases in the percentage of condom use and consistent condom use, and significant decreases in the number of unprotected sexual acts and frequency of drug use before sex. Intervention effects dissipated by 6 months. The brief counseling intervention may effectively reduce HIV sexual risk behaviors and enhance protective behaviors among STI clinic patients in Russia. Short-term positive effects were achieved with a single one hour counseling session.
本研究旨在检验一种基于理论的简短咨询干预措施在降低俄罗斯圣彼得堡性传播感染（STI）诊所患者的性传播感染艾滋病毒风险行为方面的效果。研究招募了男性和女性（n=307），他们分别接受以下两种干预措施之一：（1）时长 60 分钟的动机/技能培养咨询，内容涉及性传播感染艾滋病毒风险降低；或（2）书面艾滋病毒预防信息材料。参与者在 2009 年 7 月至 2011 年 5 月期间完成了基线、三个月和六个月的评估。与对照组相比，面对面咨询干预措施显著增加了 condom use 和 consistent condom use 的比例，显著减少了 unprotected sexual acts 的数量和性行为前 drug use 的频率。干预效果在 6 个月时消失。简短的咨询干预措施可能会有效地降低俄罗斯 STI 诊所患者的艾滋病毒性风险行为，并增强其保护行为。单次一小时的咨询即可实现短期的积极效果。
