Popis: | Purpose: This study aims to describe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related knowledge and beliefs as well as understanding attitudes towards masculinity in the context of HIV prevention held among Chilean men. Design: This study reports the qualitative findings of a sequential qualitative-quantitative mixed methodology study: Bringing men into HIV Prevention in Chile NIH R01 TW007674-03. Methods: Twenty in-depth interviews using a qualitative descriptive approach to elicit information for the study were conducted among men residing in two communities of low socio-economic status in Santiago Chile. Findings: Content analysis of interviews revealed three main themes regarding machismo and how it relates to HIV: sexuality and machismo the changing nature of machismo and violence against women. Conclusions: Addressing HIV and intimate partner violence through developing education programs tailored to meet the needs of Chilean men are needed to include men in HIV prevention efforts. Clinical Relevance: Specifically incorporating ideas of what men consider healthy masculinity and working to destigmatize men who have sex with men are important steps in addressing the negative aspects of machismo. |
