Regular HIV Testing Among At-Risk Latino Men

Early HIV diagnosis followed by linkage to treatment soon after HIV infection can reduce mortality and prevent new HIV infections. To obtain the full benefit of early HIV diagnosis, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that high risk groups get tested for HIV regularly, every three to six months. This study will examine the feasibility of a strategy to promote regular HIV testing and HIV risk reduction among Latino men at risk for HIV which, if successful, will help to identify Latino men unaware of their HIV status, benefitting them and the society.
