目标。这项研究考察了针对异性伴侣的以关系为基础的艾滋病毒/性传播疾病预防计划的有效性，以及该计划在提供给夫妇或单独提供给女性时是否更有效。这些夫妇(n=217)被随机分为(1)6次治疗(n=81)，(2)单独为女性提供相同的干预(n=73)，或(3)仅为女性提供1次控制条件(n=63)。干预措施有效地降低了无保护措施的比例，增加了受保护的性行为的比例。在一起接受干预的夫妇和单独接受干预的夫妇之间没有观察到显著的效果差异。这项研究证明了以关系为基础的预防计划对艾滋病毒感染风险夫妇的有效性。
Objectives. This study examined the efficacy of a relationship-based HIV/sexually transmitted disease prevention program for heterosexual couples and whether it is more effective when delivered to the couple or to the woman alone.Methods. Couples (n=217) were recruited and randomized to (1) 6 sessions provided to couples together (n=81), (2) the same intervention provided to the woman alone (n=73), or(3) a 1-session control condition provided to the woman alone (n=63).Results. The intervention was effective in reducing the proportion of unprotected and increasing the proportion of protected sexual acts. No significant differences in effects were observed between couples receiving the intervention together and those in which the woman received it alone.Conclusions. This study demonstrates the efficacy of a relationship-based prevention program for couples at risk for HIV infection.
