Principal Investigator: Robert Remien, Ph.D.
The risk of transmitting HIV to others is particularly high during the first few months of HIV infection and as such represents an important time for counseling newly infected people as well as their partners. Dr. Remien will interview at-risk populations from community-based organizations, as well as physicians and test counselors, in order to develop an educational program aimed at raising awareness of the importance of acute HIV infection and promoting behavioral skills to minimize harm to both newly infected people as well as their partners.
