Dominant gender roles contribute to the risk of contracting HIV, for that reason the integration of social norms regarding gender into HIV prevention interventions has been urged. This study aims to adapt and develop an intervention to facilitate the transformation of social norms related to gender and sexual practices in Puerto Rican men. The intervention aims to transform social norms related to gender and sexuality in community bars using the Popular Opinion Leaders Model. After being selected, opinion leaders disseminate messages that stress the importance of equitable relationships between men and women for HIV prevention. The first phase of this intervention is discussed in this article. This phase includes a process of rapid ethnography to identify community settings in which we could develop the intervention and allow us to understand the culture of these community bars. From ethnographic observations we: developed a security protocol, developed a profile of the culture of these bars, chose the bars that participate in the two study conditions, and adapted the intervention instruments to respond to the particularities of our participants.
主导性的性别角色会增加感染艾滋病毒的风险，因此有人呼吁将有关性别的社会规范纳入艾滋病毒预防干预措施中。本研究旨在调整并开发一种干预措施，以促进波多黎各男性转变与性别和性行为相关的社会规范。该干预措施旨在利用大众意见领袖模式，转变社区酒吧中与性别和性取向相关的社会规范。意见领袖被选中后，会传播强调男女平等关系对预防艾滋病毒重要性的信息。本文讨论了该干预措施的第一阶段。这一阶段包括一个快速人种志过程，以确定我们可以开展干预措施的社区环境，并让我们了解这些社区酒吧的文化。通过人种志观察，我们制定了安全协议，勾勒出这些酒吧的文化概况，选择了参与两项研究条件的酒吧，并调整了干预工具以适应我们参与者的特殊性。
