Timeline
Arms & Interventions
For couples who are prevalent sero-discordant, this will be a CHTC session. For couples who are prevalent concordant HIV-positive, the first visit will be the first Partner Steps session. For couples in which one or both do not know their sero-status or have not tested for HIV in the past 12 months, the first session will be a CHTC session.
Participants in the control group will receive an intervention, with the same number of sessions as couples of the same sero-status in the intervention condition, delivered via one-on-one couples counseling sessions (i.e., one couple with one counselor).
