HIV Testing & Womens Attitudes on HIV Vaccine Trials
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Message Sidedness for HIV. Completed, enrolled 2,031 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of different persuasive informational messages on rates of rapid HIV testing and willingness to participate in a HIV vaccine clinical trial. Adult African-American, non-Latina White, and Latina women will be recruited. Women will initially be randomized to 4 groups: 1. no message control; 2. 1-sided message that mentions benefits of HIV testing; 3. 2-sided message that acknowledges minor opposition to testing, then refutes the opposition; and 4. 2-sided message that acknowledge stronger opposition to testing, then refutes the opposition. Women will be offered HIV testing, then re-randomized to a similar set of 4 messages related to HIV vaccine trials. There will therefore be 16 groups in total (4 X 4).

Arm 2 is control + a 1-sided message. Arm 3 is control + a trivial 2-sided message. Arm 4 is control + a major 2-sided message. Arm 5 is a 1-sided message + a control. Arm 6 is a 1-sided message + a 1-sided message. Arm 7 is a 1-sided message + a trivial 2-sided message. Arm 8 is a 1-sided message + a major2-sided message. Arm 9 is a trivial 2-sided message + a control. Arm 10 is a trivial 2-sided message + a 1-sided message. Arm 11 is a trivial 2-sided message + a trivial 2-sided message. Arm 12 is a trivial 2-sided message + a major 2-sided message. Arm 13 is a major 2-sided message + a control. Arm 14 is a major 2-sided message + a 1-sided message. Arm 15 is a major 2-sided message + a trivial 2-sided message. Arm 16 is a major 2-sided message + a major2-sided message.
