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,
STD, 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
