A multiple-session AIDS workshop poses a substantial burden on the provider and on the clients. Therefore,w e developeda nd pilot-tested a single-sessionA IDS prevention workshop, using a before and after comparison in a one group design. Young Hispanic patients at an HIV testing clinic completed a baseline surveya nd were invited to attend a single-session9 O-min AIDS prevention workshop. The goals of the workshop were to reinforce issues discussed in the individual mv counseling session, and to encourage and practice condom carrying, negotiation and use. Forty-seven percent of the patients attended the workshop and evaluated it very positively. Sixty-eight percent of all patients completed a telephone interview 4 weeks later. The proportion of subjects who always carried condoms increased from 18 % at baseline to 420;0 at 4-week follow-up (p < 0.0004). Stratified analyses showed that condom carrying increased significantly only in males and only in workshop attenders.
