ABSTRACT Latinas have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic. Nearly 19% of women living with HIV/AIDS are Latina, even though Latinas constitute only 16% of US women, and HIV/AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death in Latinas aged 35-44. In 2006, Latinas represented one-quarter of new HIV infections in women, a rate of HIV infection four times higher than that of white women. While some behavioral prevention interventions tailored for Latinas have shown efficacy in reducing sexual risk, their successful replication has been hampered by cost, implementation challenges, and participation retention. At the same time, a new wave of computer-delivered interventions has emerged in the past few years, but none of these programs are tailored for adult Latinas or available in Spanish language versions. This project will address these gaps by continuing development of and conducting a randomized controlled efficacy trial on culturally tailored, English and Spanish language, computer-delivered versions of Project SAFE, an existing efficacious HIV prevention program for minority women. The resulting product will (1) make an efficacious HIV prevention intervention widely available to service agencies at low cost; (2) facilitate faithful program implementation (i.e., by means of a computer) with minimal staff involvement; (3) promote target population participation by permitting sensitive topics to be addressed privately (i.e., one-on-one with the computer) and according to a flexible schedule; and, (4) reduce sexual risk-taking behavior and HIV infection rates among Latinas, who are disproportionately affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

摘要 自艾滋病毒/艾滋病爆发以来，拉丁裔受到艾滋病毒/艾滋病的影响尤为严重。近19%的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者是拉丁裔，尽管拉丁裔仅占美国女性的16%，艾滋病毒/艾滋病是35-44岁拉丁裔的第四大死因。2006年，拉丁裔妇女占新感染艾滋病毒妇女的四分之一，艾滋病毒感染率比白色妇女高四倍。虽然一些为拉丁美洲人量身定制的行为预防干预措施在降低性风险方面表现出了有效性，但其成功复制受到成本，实施挑战和参与保留的阻碍。与此同时，在过去几年中出现了新一波计算机提供的干预措施，但这些方案都不是为拉丁美洲成年人量身定制的，也没有西班牙语版本。该项目将通过继续开发和开展一项随机对照有效性试验来解决这些差距，该试验针对的是针对文化的、英语和西班牙语的、计算机提供的SAFE项目版本，该项目是一项针对少数民族妇女的现有有效艾滋病毒预防方案。由此产生的产品将（1）以低成本向服务机构广泛提供有效的艾滋病毒预防干预;（2）促进忠实的方案实施（即，通过计算机），最少的工作人员参与;（3）通过允许私下讨论敏感话题（即，（4）减少拉丁美洲人的性冒险行为和艾滋病毒感染率，拉丁美洲人受艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病的影响不成比例。
