Participants are wanted for an HIV Research Project at The Ohio State University. This study is designed to help gay and bisexual men improve their HIV+ disclosure skills and reduce their sexual risk behaviors.

Dr. Julianne Serovich, Professor and Chair in the Department of Human Development and Family Science at The Ohio State University, is interested in recruiting HIV-positive gay and bisexual men, who are 18 years old or older, currently sexually active, and are willing to participate in 5 project sessions and 2 additional assessment sessions over a one year-period.  Each session is expected to last approximately 1 1/2 hours, and participants could earn a total of $235. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two conditions: a disclosure program or a comparable risk reduction program.

Special note:  All information associated with this study will remain strictly confidential with access to the data collected from this project limited to Dr. Serovich and her research associates. Any presentation of the results of the study will be in summary form or altered in ways to protect you.  Minorities are especially encouraged to participate.
