Community awareness and use of HIV/AIDS-prevention services among minority populations--Connecticut, 1991.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-prevention efforts supported by the federal government include programs offered through community-based organizations (CBOs) and state and local health departments (1). To assess the extent of community awareness and use of these HIV/AIDS-prevention services among Hispanics and non-Hispanic blacks in three cities in Connecticut, the Connecticut State Department of Health Services (CSDHS) included questions on HIV/AIDS-prevention programs in its population-based chronic disease and health risk survey. This report summarizes survey results regarding awareness and use of these community-based programs during 1991.
