HIV Risk and Prevention in Women

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV

In brief

This study gathers information about HIV testing utilization and influences on HIV testing decisions among young, general population Russian women at-risk of HIV exposure. The study compares HIV testing acceptance across two types of low-barrier testing strategies (opt-in vs. opt-out) and conducts one of the first randomized experimental comparisons of these strategies. The overarching goal is to gain knowledge that can be used to increase utilization of HIV testing among at-risk young women and offer gender-specific strategies for improving prevention.
