Prevention program aims to change patient behavior.
A Rochester, NY, program combines STD and HIV prevention and counseling to target some of the highest-risk populations, including incarcerated people and HIV-infected people who have had reportable sexually transmitted diseases in the two years before or after their HIV diagnosis. The philosophy is that suitable methods for behavioral change among HIV-positive people are precisely the same sorts of methods used to reduce risk behaviors among high-risk HIV-negative populations.
