This study tests a 12-episode Internet-based, guide enhanced Love, Sex, \& Choices (LSC) HIV prevention soap opera video series for smartphones or computers, in a randomized clinical trial among predominately at-risk African American urban women. The following hypotheses are to be tested: 1) The LSC treatment arm will show lower unprotected sex risk, meaning lower frequency of unprotected sex (vaginal + anal) with high risk partners at 6 months post intervention compared to an attention control arm 2) The LSC treatment arm will show higher participation in HIV testing at 6 months post intervention compared to the control. If effective, this video intervention could be rapidly implemented and brought to scale at low cost via the Internet, widely reaching young urban women with the goal of reducing HIV risk behavior and increasing HIV testing.
