Summary
The use of behavioral intervention to reduce stimulant use and concurrent HIV sexual transmission risk.
Detailed Description
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 for translation into real-world practice using a hybrid effectiveness-implementation design. The IMPACT intervention includes 10 sessions: 2 sessions of HIV sexual risk reduction (RR) counseling, 1 session focused on orienting and rationale of behavioral activation (BA), 6 sessions integrating BA and sexual RR counseling-including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or antiretroviral therapy (ART) and HIV care-and 1 final session on strategies for slip-ups and recurrence management. The enhanced Standard of Care (eSOC) group includes two HIV sexual RR sessions.
