Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Despite reductions in AIDS deaths in the general population, Latino AIDS deaths in the United States have been increasing. The underlying cause of the rising HIV infection rates in the U.S. Latino population is not fully understood. Focus groups among Mexicans in North Carolina revealed methods of prevention that were different from those recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A research-based Mexican model of HIV prevention is proposed and contrasted with a model deducted from CDC prevention strategies. Recently immigrated Mexicans may be unlikely to adopt the CDC model of HIV prevention due to their culturally specific views of prevention.
