Contextualizing & Responding to HIV Risk Behaviors Among Black Drug Offenders
The purpose of this study was to pilot test the potential for improvement in antiretroviral
medication adherence of a an adapted group-based, multi-session, community-based
Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) adherence and risk reduction intervention, Project ADHerence
Education and Risk Evaluation (ADHERE). Project ADHERE was compared to a single-session
group-based medication adherence intervention, Medication Adherence and Care Engagement
(MACE).
A secondary aim was to examine the impact of Project ADHERE on HIV risk behaviors (i.e.,
illicit drug use and unprotected sexual behavior).
This study was designed to inform, design, and pilot test the two antiretroviral medication
adherence interventions for HIV-infected formerly incarcerated individuals.

Formerly incarcerated Black drug offenders are at an elevated risk for HIV infection. Despite
substantial research expressing the need for HIV prevention services for ex-offenders
postrelease, this population has limited access to quality programming and services related
to HIV risk reduction. This K01 application seeks to inform and adapt an HIV risk reduction
intervention to address the needs of formerly incarcerated Black drug offenders who are being
released from prisons in the New York City metropolitan area.The study will utilize
qualitative and quantitative methods to inform and adapt an HIV prevention intervention for
this study population.
