It is found that substantial risk reduction among heterosexual couples with one infected partner and among other heterosexuals at increased risk were scanty and mixed, and further studies should specifically address the behavioral consequences of counseling and testing in various settings.

By providing a more private mode for data collection and standardized delivery of all questions, as well as automated skip patterns and range checks, audio-CASI and T-ACASI have been found to be an effective way of reducing response bias, and thus, contributing to a better understanding of the prevalence and patterns of sexual and other sensitive behaviors.
