Intervention for HIV-Positive Black Young Men Who Have Sex With Men (YMSM)

This study involves conducting formative research to develop a culturally appropriate secondary prevention intervention for HIV-positive Black young men who have sex with men (B-YMSM). The intervention draws upon the principles of Critical Consciousness Theory (CCT). The formative research includes reviewing data and findings from relevant ATN protocols (i.e., 070, 068, and 073) and existing health promotion interventions targeting young men of color (i.e., the Young Warriors program, Hermanos de Luna y Sol \[HLS\]) and conducting focus groups with up to 32 HIV- positive B-YMSM.
