Testing an Integrated Bio-Behavioral Primary HIV Prevention Intervention Among High-Risk People Who Use Drugs

The CHRP-BB intervention is a theory-based, manual-guided, HIV risk reduction and PrEP adherence intervention. It is an integrated evidence-based intervention that uses a coping skills training approach to primary prevention and is delivered in a small group modality by two trained intervention facilitators using a motivational enhancement therapeutic style to address high risk drug- and sex-related HIV risk behaviors and PrEP adherence. Importantly, the CHRP-BB intervention includes specific behavioral and mHealth strategies designed and tested to accommodate difficulties stemming from moderate to severe neuro-cognitive impairment (NCI).
