| Popis: | A focus-group study gathered qualitative information from Hispanic males in California regarding ethnic factors that might enhance or interfere with AIDS prevention efforts. A predominantly working-class convenience sample of 75 men aged 18-40 participated in seven groups....Three groups were composed of single men three of married men and one was composed of homosexual and bisexual men....Evaluation of the discussions indicates that while AIDS awareness is high among this population condom use is sporadic....Although many participants thought HIV could be transmitted through casual contact the homosexual and bisexual men were more likely to acknowledge that they were at some risk of infection; most of the heterosexual men did not perceive themselves as being at risk even those who engaged in sex with prostitutes or women they met at bars. The participants had ambivalent attitudes toward women who suggested condom use and were often reluctant to initiate condom use themselves. (EXCERPT) |
