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

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

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)

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)

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 »

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

Pre‐ and post‐test counseling
• The linkage of virological, behavioural, and pyschosocial data in the context of the SPOT project has served to orient intervention development and clarify the focus of counselling. 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).

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…

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.

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)
