Quantitative surveys will be administered by computers and personal interviews will be conducted to collect qualitative data (at baseline and 3-month follow-up). Participants in both phases will be offered rapid HIV testing, and declining an HIV test will not negatively impact their study participation. The research questions being explored are relevant for understanding how interpersonal communication with members of one’s social networks are related to risk for contracting HIV infection and attitudes towards HIV testing. This study will provide important epidemiologic information useful for the development of HIV prevention interventions for BMSM. Men will complete a 5-minute eligibility screening interview. The baseline computer-based survey will take 45 minutes. The qualitative interview will take approximately 75 minutes. The number of respondents who will accept HIV testing is estimated to be 200 (accounting for those who did not test at baseline and those who do not consent to test at follow-up). HIV counseling and rapid testing will take 45 minutes. The 3-month follow-up survey will take approximately 30 minutes; the follow-up qualitative interview will take approximately 45 minutes.

Proposed Project

    Exploring HIV Prevention Communication Among Black Men Who Have Sex 
with Men In New York City: Project BROTHA--New--National Center for 
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and 
Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).
    Background and Brief Description: CDC is requesting OMB approval to 
administer a survey, conduct interviews and offer HIV rapid testing in 
Black Men who have sex with Men (BMSM) and other Men who have Sex with 
Men (MSM) in New York City. The purpose of the proposed study is to 
assess how interpersonal communication within BMSM social networks may 
be related to risk for HIV infection and attitudes towards HIV testing.
    Data collection will occur over the course of 2-3 years. After 
screening for eligibility, a total of 300 BMSM and other MSM in their 
social networks will be enrolled in 2 phases: (1) 350 BMSM will be 
recruited and screened to find 100 eligible BMSM participants, and (2) 
the 100 first phase participants will then recruit 200 other MSM within 
their social networks to participate in the second phase. Quantitative 
surveys will be administered by computers and personal interviews will 
be conducted to collect qualitative data (at baseline and 3-month 
follow-up). Participants in both phases will be offered rapid HIV 
testing, and declining an HIV test will not negatively impact their 
study participation. The research questions being explored are relevant 
for understanding how interpersonal communication with members of one's 
social networks are related to risk for contracting HIV infection and 
attitudes towards HIV testing.
    This study will provide important epidemiologic information useful 
for the development of HIV prevention interventions for BMSM. Men will 
complete a 5-minute eligibility screening interview. The baseline 
computer-based survey will take 45 minutes. The qualitative interview 
will take approximately 75 minutes. The number of respondents who will 
accept HIV testing is estimated to be 200 (accounting for those who did 
not test at baseline and those who do not consent to test at follow-
up). HIV counseling and rapid testing will take 45 minutes. The 3-month 
follow-up survey will take approximately 30 minutes; the follow-up 
qualitative interview will take approximately 45 minutes. There is no 
cost to the respondents other than their time.
