There has been limited HIV prevention intervention among Southeastern rural Blacks residing in Florida. The prevalence of HIV/AIDS among this population increasingly supports the need for HIV prevention intervention.
The primary focus of this article is the process and outcome evaluations of the feasibility of recruiting rural Blacks to accept and participate in HIV prevention intervention and HIV testing and return for their test results. The interventions were conducted over a 5-month period.
One hundred rural residents participated in the HIV prevention intervention, which was well received except for completing the preintervention and postintervention surveys. Thirty-nine percent of the adult participants consented to OraSure HIV testing, and 75% of those tested returned for their results.
Community-based HIV prevention intervention, including condom demonstration, can successfully be conducted with rural populations. Rural Blacks will participate in HIV testing using OraSure.
居住在佛罗里达州的东南部农村黑人中,艾滋病病毒预防干预措施有限。该人群中艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行情况日益表明有必要进行艾滋病病毒预防干预。
本文的主要重点是对招募农村黑人接受并参与艾滋病病毒预防干预、艾滋病病毒检测以及返回获取检测结果的可行性进行过程和结果评估。干预措施在5个月的时间内实施。
100名农村居民参与了艾滋病病毒预防干预,除完成干预前和干预后的调查外,该干预措施受到广泛欢迎。39%的成年参与者同意进行奥芮思艾滋病病毒检测,其中75%的受测者返回获取检测结果。
包括避孕套演示在内的基于社区的艾滋病病毒预防干预措施能够成功应用于农村人群。农村黑人愿意使用奥芮思进行艾滋病病毒检测。
