Throughout the past decade, HIV rates in Florida-particularly South Florida, where many Latina seasonal farmworkers reside and work-have ranked among the highest in the nation. In this brief report, we delineate important lessons learned and preliminary findings from the implementation of the HIV prevention intervention (Progress in Health). Among the 114 Latina seasonal farmworker participants, there were significant increases from baseline to 6-month follow-up in the percentages of overall condom use, HIV testing, HIV/AIDS-related communications with friends, HIV knowledge, condom use self-efficacy, and correct use of condoms. Lessons learned from this study can be used to inform future HIV intervention strategies to improve the adoption and maintenance of HIV risk reduction behaviors among high-risk Latina seasonal workers and other high-risk underserved populations. Future research is needed to support our findings.
在过去十年中，佛罗里达州，尤其是南佛罗里达州（许多拉丁裔季节性农场工人居住和工作的地方）的艾滋病毒感染率一直位居全国前列。在这份简短的报告中，我们阐述了从实施艾滋病毒预防干预措施（健康进展）中学到的重要经验教训和初步发现。在114名拉丁裔季节性农场工人参与者中，从基线到6个月随访，总体避孕套使用、艾滋病毒检测、与朋友进行的艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关交流、艾滋病毒知识、避孕套使用自我效能以及正确使用避孕套的百分比均有显著增加。本研究的经验教训可用于为未来的艾滋病毒干预策略提供参考，以促进高危拉丁裔季节性工人和其他高危未得到充分服务人群减少艾滋病毒风险行为的采用和维持。需要进一步的研究来支持我们的发现。
