Recent syphilis outbreaks in metropolitan cities are attributed to men who have sex with men (MSM) with a significant proportion of Black or Hispanic identity. However, there are few syphilis interventions that are tailored to minority MSM.
We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess whether Black and Hispanic MSM recruited from various venues who viewed the "Syphilis and Men" video showed an increase in syphilis knowledge, regardless of self-reported characteristics associated with increased risk for syphilis infection.
Of the 168 participants, 91.1% were Black or Hispanic and 64.9% had a male partner in the past 6 months. The video intervention group had a significant increase of 19.5-20.9 percentage points on the post-test survey, depending on the venue. This difference was present irrespective of participant socio-demographic and health-related characteristics.
The "Syphilis and Men" video is a brief, cost-limited intervention to promote syphilis knowledge among Black and Hispanic MSM that can potentially be implemented in various venues.
最近大都市的梅毒疫情归因于男男性行为者（MSM），其中很大一部分是黑人或西班牙裔。然而，针对少数族裔 MSM 的梅毒干预措施很少。
我们进行了一项随机对照试验，以评估无论自我报告的特征是否与梅毒感染风险增加有关，是否从各种场所招募的观看“梅毒与男性”视频的黑人或西班牙裔 MSM 会增加梅毒知识。
在 168 名参与者中，91.1%是黑人或西班牙裔，64.9%在过去 6 个月中有男性伴侣。根据场地的不同，视频干预组在测试后的调查中梅毒知识的增加幅度为 19.5-20.9 个百分点。无论参与者的社会人口统计学和健康相关特征如何，这种差异都存在。
“梅毒与男性”视频是一种简短、成本有限的干预措施，可以提高黑人或西班牙裔 MSM 的梅毒知识，可能在各种场所实施。
