Objectives We evaluated the effectiveness of Hombres Sanos [Healthy Men] a social marketing campaign to increase condom use and HIV testing among heterosexually identified Latino men especially among heterosexually identified Latino men who have sex with men and women (MSMW)Methods Hombres Sanos was implemented in northern San Diego County California from June 2006 through December 2006 Every other month we conducted cross sectional surveys with independent samples of heterosexually identified Latino men before (n = 626) during (n = 752) and after (n = 385) the campaign Respondents were randomly selected from 12 targeted community venues to complete an anonymous self administered survey on sexual practices and testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections About 5 6% of respondents (n = 98) were heterosexually identified Latino MSMWResults The intervention was associated with reduced rates of recent unprotected sex with both females and males among heterosexually identified Latino MSMW The campaign was also associated with increases in perception of HIV risk knowledge of testing locations and condom carrying among heterosexual LatinosConclusions Social marketing represents a promising approach for abating HIV transmission among heterosexually identified Latinos particularly for heterosexually identified Latino MSMW Given the scarcity of evidence based HIV prevention interventions for these populations this prevention strategy warrants further investigation (Am J Public Health 2010 100 2532-2540 doi 10 2105/AJPH 2009 179648)
