Darbes LA, et al. - In view of the observed low uptake of HIV testing and counseling (CHTC) among couples, despite its effectiveness for enabling mutual disclosure and connections to HIV care, researchers tested the effectiveness of a behavioral couples-based intervention meant to increase CHTC using a randomized controlled design. After attending a group session (3–4 hours), 334 eligible couples underwent randomization. One couples-based group session followed by 4 couples' counseling sessions (1–2 hours) were provided to intervention couples additionally. In correlation with the intervention, an improvement was noted in CHTC uptake, which improves mutual serostatus disclosure and entry into HIV treatment, which has a significant public health effect on communities considerably burdened by HIV.
