Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

OraQuick is a safe, rapid test that accurately identifies HIV in as little as 20 minutes. By providing an accurate, quick method for detecting a person's serostatus and access to immediate post-test counseling, rapid testing has a crucial role in identifying HIV status and improving post-test counseling rates in populations who are at high risk of HIV infection and high failure to return rates. This prospective randomized control trial compared the educational effectiveness of a fifteen-minute post-test counseling video with the normal practice of a session with an HIV counselor.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A convenience sample of stable patients presenting to the walk-in section of the Jacobi Medical Center Adult ED were recruited for rapid HIV testing. After consenting for the rapid HIV test and completing measures on condom intention and condom use self-efficacy, participants were randomized to either a fifteen-minute HIV post-test educational video available in English or to an HIV counselor for post-test counseling. Afterwards, both groups completed a measure of HIV knowledge assessing relevant testing information and level of satisfaction. An equivalence analysis was carried out to assess whether the video was at least as good as counseling, measured by total score on the knowledge questionnaire, with a lower equivalence bound of -5%.

HIV counselor

Patients who tested for HIV and consent to participate in the study receive a posttest educational session with an HIV counselor. Afterwards, patients complete an assessment tool concerning HIV prevention and transmission.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Post test video

Patients who tested for HIV and consent to participate in the study watch a a 15-minute HIV posttest educational video available in English/Spanish. Afterwards, patients complete an assessment tool concerning HIV prevention and transmission.
