CAPS Study of RWCA Clinics Aim: To assess the current practices of providers regarding prevention for HIV- infected patients in Ryan White funded clinics Method: Interviews (N=618) with patients exiting regular HIV primary care visits Sample: 16 Ryan White funded clinics in 9 states -- mix of high, medium & low volume providers
10
Research Sites
11
Barriers Barriers identified by providers were often practical –Time Constraints –Lack of training in counseling –Lack of dedicated funding Participants were significantly more likely to report prevention counseling if the office visit lasted more than half an hour (OR=1.55; p<.05)
12
Provider Role Conflicts Concept of “prevention with positives” is not well understood Many providers see role as “patient advocate.” This role seen as potentially conflicting with “public health” role. Not clear who at clinic would be responsible for providing prevention services.
13
Prevention Messages No consistent message Viewed current messages as “ineffective” “Use Condoms” -- to protect others “Protect Yourself” -- reinfection, STDs Moral -- being good v. being bad Medical advice v. motivational counseling
14
Fatalism Providers at 14 of 16 clinics expressed frustration about inability to counsel HIV-infected patients about preventing transmission. Providers in these clinics expressed fatalism; e.g. “How much of this can we change if it hasn’t changed already.” Patients in high fatalism clinics were significantly more likely to be gay men than heterosexual men (OR=11.96; p<.05) or women (OR=2.14; p,.05).
15
Patient Needs & Wants (Patients want …) To “Not transmit HIV to others” More understanding of complexity Information (re-infection) Support (learn how others cope) Leadership role -- prevention & reducing stigma (speaking to youth)
