Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations

Study recruitment took place between October 28, 2008 through May 31, 2010 in Tijuana and November 15, 2008 through July 30, 2010 in Ciudad Juarez.

Data Collection for this study has been completed and the study is in the analysis phase.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Targeted sampling techniques were used. Potential participants were approached at venues such as motels, hotels, brothels, shooting galleries, bars, alleys and street corners in both cities. Interested parties were referred to the project offices or a mobile unit for eligibility screening.

Reporting Groups
  Description
A: Didactic Safer Injection & Sexual Activity Education

In each city, 75 women will participate in a 60 minute didactic presentation and printed materials on safer sex and safer injection based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) counseling, testing, and referral and materials from Mexico's National Center for AIDS (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome)Studies (CENSIDA).

In this component, there will be no theory-driven active skill building elements oriented towards safer sex or safer injection.
B: Interactive Injection Risk & Didactic Safer Sex Education

In each city, 75 women will participate in the 60 minute "Di No a las Jeringas Contaminadas" ['Say No to Contaminated Syringes'] counseling session.

This one on one intervention incorporates elements of motivational interviewing (MI) and principles of social cognitive theory and theory of reasoned action(SCT/TRA) to address the context of unsafe injection sharing and the extent to which syringes and other injection paraphernalia is shared.

In addition, participants will be provided a lecture-type presentation on safer sex. However, in this component, there will be no theory-driven active skill building elements oriented towards safer sex.
C:Interactive Sexual Risk & Didactic Safer Injection Eductatio

In each city, 75 women will participate in the 60 minute "Di No Al Sexo Inseguro" [Say No to Unsafe Sex'] counseling session.

This one on one intervention incorporates elements of MI and principles of social cognitive theory and theory of reasoned action (SCT/TRA)to address the context of unsafe sex and condom use with clients.

In addition, participants will be provided a lecture-type presentation on safer injection sharing. However, in this component, there will be no theory-driven active skill building elements oriented towards safer injection behavior.
D: Interactive Injection & Sexual Risk Intervention

In each city, 75 women will participate in the 60 minute "Di No a las Jeringas Contaminadas" ['Say No to Contaminated Syringes'] and "Di No Al Sexo Inseguro" [Say No to Unsafe Sex'] counseling session.

This one-on-one intervention incorporates elements of MI and principles of social cognitive theory and theory of reasoned action (SCT/TRA) to address the context of both, a) unsafe injection sharing and the extent to which syringes and other injection paraphernalia is shared; and b) unsafe sex and condom use with clients, and associated risks (e.g., Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV)infection,Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs, pregnancy).
