• Defining stress and reinforcing coping skills with HIV-positive people across three life areas:

• Disclosing to family and friends
• Disclosing to sex partners, and
• Building healthier and safer relationships

• Using modeling, role-play, and feedback to teach and practice skills related to coping with stress.
• Teaching decision-making skills around the issue of disclosure of HIV status.
• Providing participants with personal feedback reports to motivate a change of risky behaviors and continuance of protective behaviors.
• Using popular movie clips to set up scenarios around disclosure and risk reduction to stimulate discussions and role-plays.
