This project seeks to enhance the effectiveness of Couples HIV Testing and Counseling (CHTC) when implemented with adolescent sexual minority males. Adolescents may experience some unique challenges when communicating about sex and sexual safety with partners. This study developed adjunct components to support sexual health communication and adapted them for delivery to individuals or couples.
