Objective. We evaluated the efficacy of a brief, clinic-based, safer sex program administered by a lay health adviser for young heterosexual African American men newly diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease (STD).Methods. Subsequent to STD diagnosis, eligible men (N=266; aged 18-29 years) were randomized to either a personalized, single-session intervention (delivered by a lay health adviser) or standard of care. We conducted behavioral assessments at baseline and 3 months postintervention (retention was 74.1%). We also conducted a 6-month clinic record review.Results. Compared to men randomized to the control condition, those receiving the intervention were significantly less likely to acquire subsequent STDs (50.4% vs 31.9%; P=.002) and more likely to report using condoms during last sexual intercourse (72.4% vs 53.9%; P=.008). They also reported fewer sexual partners (mean 2.06 vs 4.15; P
