Men of African American Legacy Empowering Self

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: HIV

In brief

The MAALES Project is a community collaborative intervention designed to prevent HIV infection and transmission among African American men who have sex with both men and women. The investigators are a collaboration of researchers, community service providers and activists who are committed to developing and testing effective HIV prevention interventions that employ holistic and culturally relevant approaches. This includes recognizing the impact of forces such as racism, homophobia, heterosexism, sexism, and gender expectations on individual behavior and relationship dynamics in African American communities.
