本研究的目的是调查艾滋病/艾滋病毒知识的拉丁美洲青少年和成年移民农场工人在密歇根州，以确定与艾滋病毒相关的风险行为，并确定代际规范有关性活动的差异。在大多数情况下，拉丁美洲移民人口似乎了解艾滋病毒传播的性模式，尽管通过亲吻和上学或与感染者一起工作的偶然接触也被视为一些人的可能传播途径。一些避孕套的信念，可能是使用的障碍，包括信念，避孕套只用于妓女（35%同意）和避孕套只用于男同性恋者（54%同意）。只有一小部分人（10%）同意避孕套是预防艾滋病的好办法。大多数受访者知道什么是避孕套，尽管只有51%的样本知道使用避孕套的朋友。难民营中的青少年女性普遍不赞成婚前性行为，而男性和老年女性则更容易接受。所有这些因素都使得实施对文化敏感、针对性别和对两代人都有效的艾滋病毒/艾滋病教育方案成为现实。
The objectives of this study were to investigate the AIDS/HIV knowledge of Latino adolescent and adult migrant farm workers in Michigan, to determine risk behaviors related to HIV, and to determine differences in generational norms regarding sexual activity. For the most part, the Latino migrant population seemed knowledgeable about sexual modes of HIV transmission, although casual contact, through kissing and going to school or work with an infected individual, was also seen as a possible route of transmission for some. Several condom beliefs were identified that may be barriers to use, including the beliefs that condoms are only for use with prostitutes (35% agreed) and that condoms are only for gay men (54% agreed). Only a small proportion (10%) agreed that condoms were good protection from AIDS. Most respondents knew what condoms were, although only 51 % of the sample knew friends who used them. Adolescent females in the camps generally disapproved of premarital sex, while males and older females were more accepting. All these factors make it pertinent to implement HIV/AIDS education programs that are culturally sensitive, gender-specific, and effective in both generations.
