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

描述(由申请人提供)：与其他异性恋男性群体相比，居住在纽约市的有监禁史的年轻异性恋黑人男性的艾滋病毒感染率较高。此外，最近从监狱/监狱释放的男子被指从事高风险的性行为(例如，多性伴侣、交易性性行为、使用药物)，这可能使自己及其伴侣面临感染艾滋病毒的风险。这些文献主要考察了有监禁史的男性及其性伴侣的性危险行为和态度。来自同龄人、家庭成员和邻里环境的社会规范也可能与这一人群的性行为风险有关。因此，拟议的定性研究旨在描述与有监禁史的年轻异性恋黑人男子在释放后立即发生性行为相关的社会规范和同龄人、家庭和邻里环境之间的互动。

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.
