The purpose of this study is to determine if a brief behavioral intervention delivered over
the telephone is effective at reducing occasions of condomless sex in persons living and
aging with HIV.

Estimated rates of condomless anal and vaginal intercourse among HIV-positive older adults
remain high. Brief motivational interventions delivered face-to-face have demonstrated
efficacy at reducing condomless sex in HIV-positive persons. However, these interventions are
not contextualized to the unique sexual health needs of HIV-positive older adults. Further,
many HIV-positive older adults have difficulty accessing face-to-face services due to
transportation, stigma, and other barriers. Telehealth interventions represent one delivery
approach that overcomes such barriers.

Inclusion Criteria:

- English speaking

- Have access to a landline or cellular telephone

- Be 50 years of age or older at some point during study participation

- Report engaging in one or more occasions of condomless anal and/or vaginal intercourse
with an HIV-negative or unknown HIV serostatus sex partner in the 3 months prior to
study enrollment. An exception to this criterion is participants whose HIV viral load
is undetectable and whose only condomless sex is in the context of a monogamous sexual
relationship with an HIV-negative partner.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Active suicidal ideation as determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item
Depression Module
