The overall objective of this research is to use both qualitative and quantitative data to
inform the development of a technology-based intervention for heavy drinking and sexual risk
behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM) who are seeking free HIV testing.
Investigators will be conducting a randomized-controlled pilot test of the intervention among
MSM seeking HIV testing in community-based settings to explore its potential impact on
alcohol and HIV-related behavioral outcomes. This research will ultimately produce a
combined, theory-based, and technology- delivered intervention for heavy drinking and sex
risk that is fully portable and has been preliminarily tested for efficacy in community
settings where high-risk MSM engage with prevention services.
