HIV Prevention Program for African American Teen Males

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV Infections, Sexually Transmitted Infections

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test if sexual health interventions can reduce the incidence of STIs among African American teens (15 to 21 years old). By doing this study, we hope to help African American teens improve their condom use skills and encourage them to use condoms more frequently. If the number of STIs in this population can be decreased, the health of African American teen males will greatly improve. We also believe that sexual partners (typically African American teen females) will also benefit.
