Proposed Project Formative Research to inform the development of new recommendations for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Counseling, Testing, and Referral in non-health care settings—New-National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases (CCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description This project involves formative research to elicit consumer opinions on HIV counseling, testing, and referral (CTR) in non-health care settings. The study entails conducting focus groups with persons who are either HIV positive or at risk for HIV because of their drug injection or sexual behavior. The purpose of the focus groups is to explore: (1) Facilitators and barriers to using CTR services in non-health care settings; (2) ideal service components to decrease barriers to early diagnosis, decrease risk behaviors, link clients with follow-up care, and ensure client rights; (3) perceived risks and benefits of CTR; and (4) preferences for providing informed consent. CDC will use study findings to inform the development of new recommendations for HIV CTR in non-health care settings. We expect a total of 450 participants to be screened for eligibility. Of the 450 participants who are screened, we expect that 180 people will participate in a focus group. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
