Couples HIV Testing and Counseling (CHTC, CVCT)
Male couples randomized to the experimental group (Couples HIV Testing and Counseling, CHTC/CVCT) will receive HIV counseling and testing as a couple via an online, HIPPA-compliant videoconferencing service. The dyad-centered session will last less than one hour and focus on couples agreement, prevention strategies, and/or linkage to HIV care, depending on each couple's test results. Participants will complete follow-up surveys at 3 and 6 months post-testing.

Male couples in the control group will receive test kits, but will not receive any testing intervention. Once individual results are reported,participants will be contacted via phone by study staff with options for referrals to services for the reactive partner(s). Participants will complete follow-up surveys at 3 and 6 months post-testing.
