Heterosexual HIV Risk Behavior in Homeless Men

我们的研究将通过揭示8个人群中的性行为艾滋病毒风险因素来推动这一研究向前发展，这些人群是单位统计数据中最脆弱和最狭隘的人群之一，并且受到了科学界的极少关注。目标1定性采访将把我们带到埃涅夫。无家可归的男人对性别的偏见现在结束了，这些海拔高度可能会影响男人在与女人发生特殊的性行为时使用或不使用避孕套的决定。Aim la IntelVIews还将帮助告知在Aim 1b结构化面试中应包括哪些具体的性别态度问题。目标18的自动结果和目标1b访谈的量化结果将作为进一步研究和干预的跳板，以解决无家可归者中异性/危险行为的复杂背景。本研究的产品为。包括至少两篇学术期刊，几篇学术报告，以及随后的研究提案。以确保这一结果。为了使这项研究有益于社区，我们将召集并聘请一个由当地艾滋病毒/艾滋病和无家可归者提供服务的专家组成的小组。在每年的杠杆会议上，我们将！讨论我们的新发现，并在我们努力制定后续建议的计划时寻求持续的反馈。针对这一人群量身定做的社会背景干预。例如，这些讨论的参与者可能包括来自AIOS Project L.A.、黑人艾滋病研究所、Shetter伙伴关系和共同点的代表。
