Study population: This study will include index recruiters and their male sexual partners. The index recruiters will be comprised of young women who served as index recruiters in ATN 067 and members of their female friendship network members who tested HIV positive based on HIV screening and a confirmatory test result that was conducted in ATN 067. All study participants will be 18 years of age or older.
Who may be able to join
- 1) Completed participation or is currently enrolled as an index recruiter in ATN 067 or 2) Is a female friendship network member enrolled in ATN 067 who is diagnosed as being HIV infected during her participation in the ATN 067 study;
- Aged 18 years or older at the time of consent;
- Willing to recruit at least one, but no more than six past or current male sexual partners who are willing to discuss and consider HIV screening.

About this study
Official title: A Pilot Study to Identify and Describe the Male Sexual Partners of Adolescent and Young Adult Women Enrolled in ATN 067
This pilot study is a sub-study of ATN 067. ATN 067 utilizes a cross-sectional research design to recruit Latina and African American young women to undergo HIV screening. The primary goal of this proposed pilot study, ATN 084, is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of index female recruiters identifying and recruiting their past and present male sexual partners to undergo HIV screening and complete a one-time ACASI interview. In addition, the study will also include female friendship network members who were enrolled in ATN 067 and were diagnosed with HIV. These young women will also be asked to recruit their past and present male sex partners to undergo HIV screening.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|

| Male Sexual Partners | Any male partner who engaged in at least one episode of oral, vaginal or anal sex during the course of their lifetime with an 084 index recruiter. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To examine the feasibility of identifying/recruiting the male sex partners of African American and Latina sexually experienced females aged 18 or older who were either index recruiters in ATN 067 or their HIV-infected female friendship network members.
Measured: 2 months
To conduct HIV screening among the male sexual partners of the ATN 084 female index recruiters and examine factors that facilitate and hinder these individuals in undergoing HIV screening.
Measured: 2 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
To compare sociodemographic characteristics, risk behaviors, psychosocial variables and self-reported sex partners of the male sexual partners of the ATN 084 female index recruiters.
Measured: 2 months
To describe sexual mixing patterns (assortative/dissortative), bridging and concurrency among the ATN 084 index recruiters and their male sexual partners by age race/ethnicity and HIV status.
Measured: 2 months
