Macedonia and Safety Counts
Safety Counts is an HIV prevention intervention for
out-of-treatment active injection and non-injection drug
users aimed at reducing both high-risk drug use and
sexual behaviors. It is a behaviorally focused,
seven-session intervention, which includes both
structured and unstructured psycho-educational
activities in group and individual settings.
This intervention works well with CDC's Advancing HIV
Prevention initiative as it strongly encourages HIV
testing as a precursor to program enrollment, clients can
be recruited from testing programs, and sessions include
a discussion of the importance of testing to the client.
The intervention addresses the needs of both
HIV-negative and HIV-positive clients.
