Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 2 Today’s presentation 1. What’s SPOT and why SPOT? 2. Three avenues for integrating testing and prevention and for strengthening the linkages to care and support: – SPOT’s community site – The testing team – Pre‐ and post‐test counseling Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 3 What’s SPOT? • • HIV and STI testing form gay and bisexual men and other MSM at a community site Multidisciplinary and intersectoral partenership (RÉZO, CSSS Jeanne‐ Mance, UQAM, McGill, COCQ‐SIDA) www.SPOTtestMONTREAL.com Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 4 What’s SPOT? 1739 participants (phases 1 & 2, 2009‐2012) • Choice of rapid or standard test: 95% of participants have chosen RT • SPOT community site (n=1029) vs. 2 clinics (l’Actuel, Quartier Latin) (n=155) • Testing and counselling provided by a nurse working alone or by an intervention team (nurse + community worker) (randomized comparison) • Standard counseling (SC) based on Quebec government guidelines vs. counseling based on a motivational interviewing (MIC) approach Phase 1 (2009‐2011): community site + clinics; same intervention at all sites (SC) Phase 2 (2011‐2012): community site only (MIC) Phase 3 (2013‐2015): community site (MIC vs. SC) (randomized trial) in progress Implementation analysis of community site Blood sample analysis (genotyping) to provide a better understanding of the dynamics of HIV transmission within the population Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 5 Why SPOT? HIV transmission dynamics among MSM in Quebec (2000‐2010) Unique infections 1 infection leads to 2.7 other infections 25% 40% 1 infection leads to 10 other infections Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 Brenner B, JID 2011 Testing as a prevention strategy • • • Increasing the number of HIV+ MSM who are aware of their HIV status could reduce onward transmission (Brenner et al., 2007; Brenner et al., 2011; Pilcher, 2004) Reaching and retaining MSM for routine and frequent HIV testing has emerged as a key public health strategy (Oster et al., 2011; INSPQ, 2011) : – Individuals less likely to use other prevention methods may nonetheless be motivated to use routine / frequent HIV testing. Community based testing in conjunction with the rapid HIV test can reduce barriers and facilitate access to testing (Fernàndez et al., 2008; Guenter et al., 2008; INSPQ, 2009; Myers et al., 2009; MSSS, 2010; Pedrana et al.,2011; Woods et al., 2010) Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 7 SPOT’s community site • In close proximity to the gay village • Integrated sexual health and wellness services: – Free, anonymous, rapid HIV testing – STI testing, hepatitis A/B vaccination – Counseling and consultation – Referrals to partner clinics and other services (healthcare; psychosocial; community) • By appointment or walk‐in • Appointments available on short notice (2 – 3 days) Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 8 Advantages of SPOT’s community site • Easily accessible; flexible hours; appointment in a few days: – Level of satisfaction with time waited (after making an appointment) before seeing someone is 6.52*. • Calm, non‐medicalized environment: « there was time to talk ... » • On average, participants met at the community site were younger • A higher proportion of participants at the community site were born outside Canada Average level on scale ranging from 1 « Not at all satisfied » to 7« extremely satisfied » Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 Comparison of clinical and community sites Variables Community site n = 1029 Clinical site n = 155 OR* (CI 95%) Age (35 years or under) 58.9% 43.9% 1.84* (1.31 – 2.58) Born outside Canada (yes) 36.5% 26.5% 1.59* (1.09 – 2.33) Reassurance about HIV status 97.2% 93.5% 2.57* (1.20 – 5.48) Took a risk 77.4% 69.0% 1.48* (1.01 – 2.16) Partner took a risk 18.5% 27.1% 0.56* (0.38 – 0.83) Broken condom 15.8% 8.4% 1.92* (1.05 – 3.49) Previously tested for HIV (yes) 88.5% 92.9% 0.65 0.34 – 1.27) Unprotected sex with HIV+ or HIV? partner (last 3 months) (yes) 36.6% 40.3% 1.05 (0.66 – 1.68) Reason for getting tested: *Adjusted odds ratio controlled for age, country of birth, sexual orientation, income, education, and extent of gay social network. 10 The testing team • Testing services at SPOT are provided by a testing team consisting of: – A community worke (responsible for pre‐ and post‐test counseling) – A nurse (responsible for testing) • The inclusion of community workers enhances the intervention team and offers an additional way to introduce discussion of gay realities and contexts and give expression to community experiences Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 11 The testing team adds value* Variable : Came back for another HIV test 3 months later Testing site Community Clinical n = 1029 n = 155 22.1% 23.9% Staff OR** (CI 95%) Testing team n = 599 Nurse only n = 585 OR (CI 95%) 0.94 (0.63‐1.42) 24.7% 19.9% 1.32* (1.00‐1.75) * Intervention team consisting of a community worker and a nurse ** Adjusted odds ratio controlled for age, country of birth, sexual orientation, income, education, and extent of gay social network.

This analysis has shown that: – testing habits are the main factor influencing the extent of onward transmission – emphasis should be placed on encouraging and facilitating routine and frequent HIV testing among sexually active MSM. • The counseling provided in conjunction with testing offers a key opportunity to explore preventive practices and testing habits. • Research suggests motivational interviewing approaches can increase the effectiveness of counseling (Suarez & Miller, 2001; Metcalf et al., 2005). Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 14 Motivational interviewing counseling • MIC: brief intervention (15‐20 minutes) that puts participants at the centre of the conversation, enabling them to identify their own focal points for change, objectives, and strategies • Less focused on transmitting information and advice than standard counseling (SC) He’s probably negative like me Sex on the brain How do I bring it up? A bit too much partying He could be Mr. Right Fed up with being careful I didn’t see it coming… Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 It’s not worth the trouble Counseling types: preliminary comparison Unprotected anal sex with an HIV+ or HIV? partner in the following 3 months among SPOT participants (2009‐2012) 40 35 35.1 28.9 30 25 18.9 20 15 10.6 10 5 0 T0 T1 Standard counseling(SC); p=0.06 Based on Quebec guidelines T0 T1 Motivational interviewing counseling (MIC); p=0.04 Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 16 How implementation has progressed at SPOT 100 90 Overall 80 Pre‐test 70 Testing 60 Post‐test 50 P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9 P10 P11 P12 Period 1 (P1) : July to October 2009 / Period 2 (P2) : November 2009 to January 2010 Standard Period 3 (P3) : February to April 2010 / Period 4 (P4) : May to July 2010 counseling Period 5 (P5) : Augus to October 2010 / Period 6 (P6) : November 2010 to January 2011 Period 7 (P7) : February to April 2011 Motivational Period 8 (P8) : May to July 2011 / Period 9 (P9) : August to October 2011 interviewing Period 10 (P10) : November 2011 to January 2012 / Period 11 (P11) : February to April 2012 counseling Period 12 (P12) : May to July 2012 Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 17 MIC: implementation challenges • Counseling based on motivational interviewing (MIC) may have more impact in terms of prevention than standard counseling (SC), but the superiority of MIC remains to be demonstrated. • MIC is more difficult to use in situations where: – Participants do not take risks or have taken a lot of risks; – Participant have mental health difficulties (e.g. anxiety). • CEM requires significantly more investment in training and clinical supervision than CS. Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 18 Next steps • A process is currently underway that will see SPOT become an ongoing service and allow the community‐based site, infrastructure, and testing model to be maintained. • Upcoming communication strategies will emphasize the promotion of routine and frequent testing for sexually active gay men and other MSM (in particular those who have multiple partners, those who are under 30 years of age , and those who have not been tested in more than a year). • A randomized trial to compare the effectiveness of motivational interviewing counseling with standard counseling is now underway (2013‐ 2015) 19 Acknowledgements RÉZO: Cyril Figureau, Maxime Pouliot, Marc‐André Primeau, Thierry Sauvain, Samuel Tozzi et les bénévoles à l’accueil CSSS Jeanne‐Mance: Jean Boulanger, Laurence Delisle, Dominique Harvey, Pierrette Héon, Ernesto Hernandez, Émilie Frenette, Isabelle Major, Marie‐Pascale Pichette, Sophie Sansfaçon UQAM: Mélina Bernier, Marie‐Ève Girard, Michel Martel, Amélie McFayden,, Carl Rodrigue, Claire Thiboutot, Benoit Turcotte, Ludivine Veillette‐Bourbeau Lady Davis Institute, Jewish General Hospital: Bonnie Spira, Frédéric Ohnona, Daniela Moise Réseau SIDA/MI: Anne Vassal, Julie Belley, Sonia Duquette, Mario Legault Clinique médicale L’Actuel: Dr. Réjean Thomas, Dr. Benoît Trottier, Dr. Sylvie Vézina, Line Provost, Steve Girard, Catherine Cartier, Blanca Gomez, Isabelle Benoît Clinique médicale Quartier Latin: Éric Lefebvre, Dr. Pierre Côté, Dr. Jean‐Guy Baril, Lucie Height INSPQ : Évelyne Fleury Motivational interviewing consultants: Patrick Berthiaume, Karine Bertrand, Julie Brisette, Rick Julien, Scott Simpson bioLytical : INSTITM rapid HIV test kits Special thanks to all the men from the community who have participated in the SPOT project Thomas Haig Ph.D., Chaire de recherche du Canada en éducation à la santé, UQAM © 2013 20 Partners Funding for SPOT has been provided by: Direction de santé publique de Montréal; Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC); Ministère de santé et des services sociaux du Québec (MSSS); Réseau canadien pour les essais VIH des IRSC (CTNPT 002); Réseau sida et maladies infectieuses ‐ Fonds de la recherche en santé du Québec (FRSQ). 21
