Although seeking sexual partners on the Internet is an identified risk factor for HIV and sexually transmitted disease infection among gay men and men who have sex with men (MSM), the medical literature lacks descriptions of the development, implementation, and evaluation of interventions for reducing infections among men who seek sexual partners online.
We sought to fill this gap by describing Cyber-Based Education and Referral/Men for Men (CyBER/M4M), an intervention designed to reduce HIV exposure and transmission among gay men and MSM who use geographically defined chat rooms.
CyBER/M4M was developed by a community-university partnership that included gay men who had experience with seeking sexual partners online, and representatives from community-based organizations, the local public health department, two universities, and national organizations with expertise in community-based participatory research (CBPR) and HIV prevention.
Two products emerged: the CyBER/M4M Training Manual, designed to facilitate training of lay health advisors known as CyBER/M4M Educators, and CyBER/M4M Resource Manual, designed as a reference for the educators.
Further research is clearly needed, but this work provides insight into the development, implementation, and evaluation of a chat room-based HIV prevention intervention using CBPR.
尽管在互联网上寻找性伴侣是男同性恋者和与男性发生性关系的男性（MSM）感染艾滋病毒和性传播疾病的一个已确定的风险因素，但医学文献中缺乏对减少在网上寻找性伴侣的男性感染的干预措施的开发、实施和评估的描述。
我们试图通过描述基于网络的教育与转介/男性对男性（CyBER/M4M）来填补这一空白，这是一项旨在减少使用地理定位聊天室的男同性恋者和MSM中艾滋病毒暴露和传播的干预措施。
CyBER/M4M是由一个社区-大学合作伙伴关系开发的，该合作伙伴关系包括有在线寻找性伴侣经验的男同性恋者，以及来自社区组织、当地公共卫生部门、两所大学和在社区参与式研究（CBPR）和艾滋病毒预防方面具有专业知识的国家组织的代表。
产生了两个产品：旨在促进对被称为CyBER/M4M教育者的非专业健康顾问进行培训的CyBER/M4M培训手册，以及作为教育者参考资料的CyBER/M4M资源手册。
显然需要进一步研究，但这项工作为使用CBPR开发、实施和评估基于聊天室的艾滋病毒预防干预措施提供了见解。
