Th e Partnership for Health (PfH) Study was a controlled intervention trial that tested brief provider-delivered safer-sex counseling with PLWHA during routine clinic visits. Th e safer-sex counseling was provided in two diff erent communication styles: gain (or advantages) frame at two clinics and loss (or consequences) frame at two clinics, and each was compared to two control clinics that received
medication adherence counseling (Richardson, Milam, McCutchan, et al., 2004).
