<qa>  What is the goal of the study proposed to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate pilot MCThe public health impact of introducing MC as a strategy to prevent HIVSTI transmission in areas of high HIVSTI prevalence and low MC rates can be significant. In addition to decreasing the rates of HIV and other STI, the intervention could indirectly help decrease the rates of HPV associated cervical cancer. The study proposed here is to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate pilot MC services in selected sites to assess the acceptability, uptake, safety and demand for these services, and to use these data to develop, in collaboration with the Dominican Ministry of Health MoH, a proposal to the National Institute of Mental Health NIMH for support of operations research concerning the safety, uptake, and efficacy of MC interventions in the DR.
