The purpose of this project is to beta-test a brief waiting room video intervention that promotes early initiation of antiretroviral treatment among treatment-naïve HIV-positive patients, adherence to antiretroviral treatment and retention in care among HIV-positive patients currently on therapy, sexual risk reduction tailored to HIV-positive persons, and patient-initiated discussion of these topics with their health providers. The video is currently being created, and will be ready for beta-testing by June 1, 2016. Results of the beta-testing will be used to refine and improve the video before dissemination to HIV/AIDS treatment facilities nationally. This video project is being funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP).
