Objective This study seeks to assess behavioural risk in people with HIV receiving antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in Thailand and Cambodia and to test a strategy to modify these behaviours and consequently reduce the rate of HIV transmission. Specific Aims 1. Measure beliefs and perceptions about ARV therapy, particularly as they relate to HIV transmission 2. Identify characteristics at an individual, family, community and contextual level that predict sexual and injecting risk behaviour and behaviour change in people with HIV infection taking ARV therapy, and which may be modifiable through a counselling intervention 3. Develop and test a counselling-based intervention to reduce the level of risk behaviour among people with HIV infection taking ARV therapy. METHODS The project will be conducted in two stages over five years. The first stage will collect data on beliefs and perceptions, risk behaviours and the factors that predict risk behaviour. Stage two will use these data to develop a risk reduction intervention and test it for long term effectiveness. EXPECTED OUTCOMES 1. Identification of an effective means of modifying high risk behaviours in people taking ARV therapy in a developing country setting. 2. Increased ability to provide appropriate psychosocial support to infected persons and affected communities. 3. Increased capacity to undertake future behavioural research in this environment.

客观的 这项研究旨在评估泰国接受抗逆转录病毒（ARV）疗法的HIV患者的行为风险 柬埔寨并测试一种修改这些行为并因此降低HIV传播率的策略。 具体目标 1。衡量对ARV治疗的信念和看法，特别是与HIV传播有关 2.确定一个个人，家庭，社区和上下文层面的特征，以预测性和注射 接受ARV治疗的艾滋病毒感染患者的风险行为和行为改变，这可能是 通过咨询干预进行修改 3。开发和测试基于咨询的干预措施，以降低艾滋病毒患者的风险行为水平 感染接受ARV治疗。 方法 该项目将在五年内在两个阶段进行。第一阶段将收集有关信念和看法，风险行为以及预测风险行为的因素的数据。第二阶段将使用这些数据来降低风险 干预并测试长期有效性。 预期的结果 1。识别在发展中国家中接受ARV治疗的人中修改高风险行为的有效手段。 2。增加为感染者和受影响社区提供适当社会心理支持的能力。 3。在这种环境下进行未来行为研究的能力提高。
