Sister to Sister is a brief (20-minute), one-on-one, skill-based HIV/sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk-reduction behavioral intervention for sexually active African American women 18 to 45 years old that is delivered during the course of a routine medical visit.
The purpose of Sister to Sister is to: provide intensive, culturally sensitive health information to empower and educate women in a clinical setting; help women understand the various behaviors that put them at risk for HIV and other STDs; and enhance women’s knowledge, beliefs, motivation, confidence, and skills to help them make behavioral changes that will reduce their risk for STDs, especially HIV.
