DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rates of HIV infection are increasing among heterosexual young adult Black men. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advancing HIV prevention agenda calls for intervention through voluntary counseling and testing. However, young adults are less likely to be tested for HIV than older age groups and there are still large numbers of Black heterosexual men who do not get HIV tested. A goal of the study is to build HIV prevention research capacity in Black communities in which little research has been conducted. We will conduct qualitative interviews with 20 low income heterosexual young adult Black (non-Hispanic) men (ages 18-25 years) to examine barriers and facilitators to HIV testing and elicit their opinions of how to promote HIV testing among their peers. Based on the results from the qualitative interviews, a questionnaire will be developed to identify attitudes towards HIV testing, perceptions of HIV risk, socio-cultural influences (e.g., incarceration history, and male gender norms), and their relationship to HIV testing behaviors among low income heterosexual young adult Black men. Results from both the qualitative interviews and survey will be used to develop tailored educational materials that promote HIV testing among low income young adult heterosexual Black men. Three focus groups will then be conducted with low income heterosexual young adult men to evaluate the acceptability of the materials. Findings will increase our understanding of factors that influence HIV testing among Black heterosexual young adult men. In addition, HIV testing promotion materials developed through this study may have utility in increasing the number of heterosexual Black young adult men who get tested and therefore become aware of their HIV status. This proposal seeks to identify factors that influence HIV testing among low income heterosexual young adult Black men. The study will also develop tailored educational materials to promote HIV testing among this population. Specifically tailoring HIV testing messages for low income heterosexual young adult Black men may have utility in increasing the numbers among this population who get tested and therefore become aware of their HIV status. Therefore, this information may make a significant contribution to HIV prevention efforts and addresses a public health priority that fits with the goals of the US Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2010 initiative to eliminate health disparities related to HIV.

描述（由申请人提供）：艾滋病毒感染率在异性恋的年轻成年黑人男子中正在增加。疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）推进艾滋病毒预防议程呼吁通过自愿咨询和检测进行干预。然而，年轻人接受艾滋病毒检测的可能性低于老年人，仍然有大量黑人异性恋男子没有接受艾滋病毒检测。这项研究的一个目标是在很少进行研究的黑人社区建立艾滋病毒预防研究能力。我们将进行定性访谈20低收入的异性恋年轻成年黑人（非西班牙裔）男子（年龄18-25岁），研究艾滋病毒检测的障碍和促进者，并征求他们的意见，如何促进艾滋病毒检测在他们的同龄人。根据定性访谈的结果，将编制一份问卷，以确定对艾滋病毒检测的态度、对艾滋病毒风险的看法、社会文化影响（例如，监禁史和男性性别规范），以及它们与低收入异性恋年轻成年黑人男性艾滋病毒检测行为的关系。定性访谈和调查的结果将用于制定有针对性的教育材料，促进低收入年轻异性恋黑人男子的艾滋病毒检测。然后，将与低收入的异性恋年轻成年男子进行三个焦点小组，以评估材料的可接受性。研究结果将增加我们对影响黑人异性恋年轻成年男子艾滋病毒检测的因素的理解。此外，通过这项研究开发的艾滋病毒检测宣传材料可能有助于增加异性恋黑人青年男子接受检测的人数，从而了解他们的艾滋病毒状况。该提案旨在确定影响低收入异性恋年轻成年黑人男子艾滋病毒检测的因素。这项研究还将编制有针对性的教育材料，以促进在这一人群中进行艾滋病毒检测。专门为低收入的异性恋年轻成年黑人男子定制艾滋病毒检测信息，可能有助于增加接受检测的人数，从而了解他们的艾滋病毒状况。因此，这些信息可能会对艾滋病毒预防工作做出重大贡献，并解决公共卫生优先事项，符合美国卫生和人类服务部2010年健康人群倡议的目标，以消除与艾滋病毒有关的健康差距。
