HIV Prevention Among Latino MSM: Evaluation of a Locally Developed Intervention
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Risk Reduction Behavior
In brief
Wake Forest University is partnering with Chatham Social Health Council (a community-based organization) to conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of Hombres Ofreciendo Liderazgo y Apoyo (HOLA) en Grupos (Men Giving Leadership and Support in Groups), a Spanish-language HIV risk behavior intervention for Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) in rural North Carolina. Participants in the HOLA intervention, when compared to those in the comparison intervention, will report: increased consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse; increased use of HIV and sexually transmitted disease (STD) counseling, testing, and treatment services; greater knowledge concerning the impact of HIV on communities (including Latino and MSM)and HIV risk behaviors and prevention strategies; more positive attitudes towards abstinence and condom use; increased self-efficacy to use and assert the use of condoms with sex partners; increased condom-use mastery scores; decreased barriers to risk reduction (e.g. health-compromising aspects of machismo); and enhanced partner and provider communication and sexual negotiation skills.
