Social norms associated with HIV risk among young heterosexual Black men with a

描述（由申请人提供）：与其他异性恋人群相比，纽约市有监禁史的年轻异性恋黑人男性艾滋病毒感染率较高。此外，最近从监狱/监狱释放的男子被认为从事高风险的性行为（例如，多伴侣、交易性行为、药物使用），这可能使他们自己及其伴侣面临感染艾滋病毒的风险。文献主要研究了有监禁史的男性及其性伴侣的性风险行为和态度。来自同伴、家庭成员和社区环境的社会规范也可能与这一人群的性风险承担有关。因此，本定性研究旨在描述有监禁史的黑人异性恋青年释放后立即性冒险行为的社会规范和同伴、家庭和社区环境之间的相互作用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Young heterosexual Black men with a history of incarceration living in New York City have high rates of HIV as compared to other groups of heterosexual men. In addition, men recently released from jail/prison have been cited as engaging in high risk sexual behaviors (e.g., multiple partners, transactional sex, substance use), which may place themselves and their partners at risk for HIV infection. The literature has primarily examined sexual risk behaviors and attitudes among men with a history of incarceration and their sexual partners. Social norms from peers, family members and within the neighborhood environment may also be related to sexual risk taking among this population. Thus the proposed qualitative study aims to describe the social norms and interactions among peers, family and neighborhood environment associated with sexual risk taking immediately post release among young heterosexual Black men with a history of incarceration.
