The use of behavioral intervention to reduce stimulant use and concurrent HIV sexual transmission risk
Hybrid Type 2 Effectiveness-Implementation Trial of Status Neutral, Integrated Behavioral Activation and Risk Reduction Intervention for Stimulant Use Among Sexually Active Young Gay/Bisexual Sexual Minority Men (Project IMPACT)
IMPACT is a Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) status-neutral, behavioral intervention to reduce stimulant use and concurrent HIV sexual transmission risk. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of IMPACT and determine feasibility of implementing IMPACT across various settings for translation into real-world practice using a hybrid effectiveness-implementation design.
The IMPACT intervention includes 10 sessions: 2 intervention sessions of HIV risk reduction (RR), 1 session focused on orienting and rationale of behavioral activation (BA), 6 sessions integrating BA and RR-including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or antiretroviral therapy (ART) and HIV care-and 1 final session on relapse prevention.
The enhanced Standard of Care (eSOC) group includes two HIV RR intervention sessions.
