项目摘要

This is an R21 exploratory/developmental application Rates of AIDS in the Caribbean Basin are second only to those in Sub-Saharan Africa In the U S Virgin Islands, rates are also high, and are increasing especially fast among women For the period July 1999 - June 2000, the rate of newly reported cases of AIDS among men in the Virgin Islands was 679 per 100,000 population, ranking it third (after Washington, D C and New York) among the United States and its territories The rate for women was 340 per 100,000, ranking it second (after Washington, D C) HIV/AIDS prevention research has never been conducted in the U S Virgin Islands, and to date there are no programs which address the cultural issues and prevention barriers specific to African-Caribbean islanders in general, and to Virgin Islanders in particular As such, and with the support of the Virgin Islands Department of Health, the Women's Coalition of St Croix, the Men's Coalition of the Virgin Islands, the University of the Virgin Islands and theVl Medical Institute, the aims of the proposed research are to 1) determine the nature and extent of HIV risk behaviors within populations of sexually active, drug and/or alcoholinvolved, women and men in St Croix, U SVl, 2) develop and test the appropriateness and acceptability of culturally relevant HIV prevention/interventions for the target populations, and 3) explore the feasibility of QraSure HIV testing These aims will be accomplished by a) collecting baseline data on drug-using and sexual behaviors, HIV risks, and other life experiences from 100 women and 100 men who appear to be at high risk for HIV infection, b) conducting focus groups with key informants in the health and human services fields as well as representatives of religious and police organizations, and members of the target populations to determine the supports, barriers, and impediments to safe sex, drug use, and HIV testing, c) developing female-oriented and male-oriented HIV interventions based on the input from the target populations, and d) assessing the cultural appropriateness and suitability of the resulting interventions through focus groups with key informants and members of the target populations.

这是加勒比海盆地中辅助工具的R21探索/发展应用率仅次于撒哈拉以南非洲以下的维尔京群岛，率也很高，在1999年7月至2000年6月7月的女性中，妇女中的速度尤其很快，在2000年7月至6月，在维尔京群岛中，新的艾滋病案件中的艾滋病率是679个艾克尔（Nouth Stoute）的艾克尔（Nouth Stoute），这是100,000的纽约人，以及在纽约州的第三名，以及在纽约州的第三名（又是纽约州的第三名（在纽约州），以及众所周知的第三名（居住在纽约州）。领土妇女的速度为每10万人每10万人340，将其排名为第二（之后（华盛顿，d c）艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防研究从未在维尔京群岛进行，迄今为止，还没有计划针对非洲加里群岛岛民，尤其是弗吉尼亚州米里克斯的私人界，尤其是针对非洲卡里布岛的文化问题和预防障碍，该障碍，以及米里克斯的支持。维尔京群岛的联盟，维尔京群岛大学和TheVL医学院，拟议的研究的目的是1）确定性活跃，毒品和/或酗酒的男女在St Crooix中的艾滋病毒风险行为的性质和程度QRASURE HIV测试的可行性将通过a）收集有关吸毒和性行为，HIV风险，HIV风险以及100名女性和100名男性的其他生活经验的基线数据来实现 c）基于目标人群的输入而发展为安全性，药物使用和HIV测试，c）开发面向女性的艾滋病毒干预措施，以及d）评估通过与关键信息针对关键信息的焦点组和目标人群成员和目标人群和目标人群的文化适当性和结果的适合性。
