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.

- 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. A male sexual partner
includes individuals with whom the index recruiter has engaged in at least one

- Able to understand written and spoken English; and

- Willing to provide written informed consent/assent.
