Interventions
In the intervention Condition participants were trained to be Health Educators. The intervention focused on HIV risk reduction by teaching knowledge and skills to reduce injection, drug splitting, and sex risk, and by teaching communication skills to conduct outreach to personal risk network members. The intervention consisted of five group-based sessions, one individual session, and one dyad session with a risk network member.
The control condition focused on injection drug-use related topics (e.g. HIV testing, Hepatitis C and drug overdose). The sessions were educational and did not include skills training. The control condition consisted of five group-based sessions.
