Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The Healthy Love Workshop is a single-session intervention lasting 3-4 h that is typically delivered to groups of 4-15 women; however, SisterLove facilitators can accommodate larger groups if needed. The intervention is designed to increase consistent use of condoms and other latex barriers, reduce unprotected sex with male partners, and reduce the number of sex partners. HLW also promotes sexual abstinence, HIV testing, and receipt of test results.
The comparison workshop (named HIV101) was also delivered as a single session lasting 2-3 h, to groups of women about the same size and in settings similar to those used for the HLW. The HIV101 workshop consists of an opening, one module containing the same three HIV/STD-related components as the HLW (HIV/AIDS facts, STI facts, and the Look of HIV) and a closing. However, the presentation of this information used a didactic, lecture-style format, as opposed to the interactive approach used to deliver the HLW.
