Investigators will conduct a comparative effectiveness trial (CET) of CHTC for adolescent-age (15-24 years) same-sex male couples. This design tests the added benefits of adjunct intervention components delivered prior to receipt of CHTC-Assertive Communication Training (ACT) videos viewed by the individual or couple together and individually delivered Motivational Interviewing-based Communication Skills Training (MI-CST). These target the development of communication skills necessary to participate fully in HIV prevention and sexual safety discussions inherent to CHTC. Youth will be randomized to receive one of two conditions: Condition 1: watch videos on ACT, participate in Communication Skills Training (MI-CST), and complete an individual HIV test, or itf participating as a couple will receive CHTC, and Condition 2: Individual HIV Testing (IHTC) as usual. Youth have the choice of attending the baseline visit alone or with their partner and have the option to bring their partner in later after completing the baseline alone. Youth in this CET will complete follow-up assessments at 1, 3, and 6 months.
