Safety Counts is an HIV prevention intervention for
out-of-treatment active injection and non-injection drug users aimed
at reducing both high-risk drug use and sexual behaviors. It is a
behaviorally focused, four-month long intervention, which includes
both structured and unstructured psycho-educational activities in
group and individual settings. This intervention works well with
CDC's Advancing HIV Prevention initiative as HIV testing is an
integral part of the program. Clients can be recruited from testing
programs and the sessions include a discussion of the importance of
testing to the client. The intervention addresses the needs of both
HIV-negative and HIV-positive
clients.
