Summary

This trial will assess how a brief persuasive health communication intervention can increase HIV/HCV screening acceptance among ED patients who initially declined. It will compare two delivery forms of this intervention, by a video or HIV/HCV counselor, and assess its efficacy among different injection-drug use history cohorts.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who speak English or Spanish, have not been tested for HIV/HCV in the past year, and are not currently infected with or being treated for these viruses. It's aimed at those who initially declined testing in the emergency department.
What is being tested?
The study tests a persuasive health communication intervention to increase acceptance of HIV/HCV screening. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive this intervention either through a video or directly from an HIV/HCV counselor.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve educational content delivered by video or counselor without medical procedures, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.
