DHAP, in collaboration with the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), will soon begin a study involving HIV-discordant couples.

In addition, many HIV-discordant couples benefit from ongoing HIV prevention counseling aimed at personal risk reduction or from couples counseling that teaches safe sexual practices and proper condom use (27,109--111).
