项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this R34 research study we will develop and pilot-test a couples focused HIV prevention intervention addressing transgender women and their male primary partners. In the U.S., transgender women are among the highest-risk groups for HIV infection, and transgender women report most frequently engaging in unprotected sex with their male primary partners. Men who have sex with transgender women (MSTWs) have recently been identified as a high-risk population for HIV. Currently there are no evidence-based interventions to reduce HIV infection in transgender women or MSTWs. We propose an innovative research study that will adapt principles from empirically supported couples-focused HIV interventions in order to develop an intervention to reduce HIV risk in transgender women and their male primary partners. After adapting couples counseling materials, we will pilot test the couples-focused intervention with 60 couples comprising transgender women and their male primary partners. Findings will provide preliminary data on the effects, feasibility, acceptability, and implementation process of a couples HIV prevention intervention trial. If this research shows initial promise, we will use findings to support an R01 application to test intervention efficacy in a randomized controlled trial.

描述（由申请人提供）：在这项R34研究中，我们将开发和试点测试夫妇以艾滋病毒预防干预措施，以解决跨性别妇女及其男性小学伴侣。在美国，跨性别妇女是艾滋病毒感染的最高风险群体之一，跨性别妇女报告说，最常与男性主要伴侣进行无保护的性行为。与跨性别妇女发生性关系的男性（MSTW）最近被确定为艾滋病毒的高风险人群。目前，尚无基于证据的干预措施来减少跨性别妇女或MSTW中的艾滋病毒感染。我们提出了一项创新的研究，该研究将适应以凭经验支持的夫妻艾滋病毒干预措施的原则，以制定一种干预措施，以减少跨性别妇女及其男性主要伴侣的艾滋病毒风险。在调整了夫妇的咨询材料之后，我们将与60对夫妇的干预进行试验，包括跨性别女性及其男性主要伴侣。调查结果将提供有关夫妻艾滋病毒预防干预试验的影响，可行性，可接受性和实施过程的初步数据。如果这项研究表现出最初的希望，我们将使用发现来支持R01应用程序在随机对照试验中测试干预功效。
