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.

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).
