Themes and excerpts from experimental participants

Revelations following PATH delivery	Consumers are sexual. Some have had children. Some are not heterosexual. Some consumers have experienced sexually transmitted infections. Consumers are not using condoms. Broaching subject of sexual behavior did not negatively impact case manager/consumer relationship. In some cases, clinical skills taught tended to improve communication in other domains. Clients appreciated being thought of as “whole.” One case manager shared prevention materials and intervention with her family members. Generally all agreed it had been a positive experience for them and for their consumers
A new skill set	Case managers grateful to have learned a new skill (HIV prevention)
Gender matching	Belief that discussions of safer sex worked better with gender matched dyads
Case managers appropriate to intervene?	Should be optional for case managers to provide HIV prevention. Still think that therapists and psychologists or even peer providers would be better choices to deliver the HIV prevention intervention
Continuing availability of safer sex resources within agency	Wanted to have program continue into the future and to have a stock of condoms and pamphlets on HIV prevention available
