Table 1.

Main AHI messages.

The following messages were communicated to participants in both arms:
  • Your HIV-test result shows that you have just contracted HIV, most likely within the past 3 months. This means you have acute HIV infection. Acute HIV infection lasts for about 3 months. (Message provided during enrollment only).

  • You have a lot of HIV virus in your body at this time. This makes it very easy to give HIV to another person through sex.

  • If you have unprotected sex with your partner(s), there is a very high chance that you will give him/her/them HIV.

  • It is very important that you either abstain or use a condom every time you have sex for at least 3-4 months.
