Abstract
Ethnic minority men, particularly Blacks and Hispanics, make up a significant proportion of all AIDS cases in the United States, with these cases linked primarily to homosexual or bisexual behavior and intravenous (IV) drug use. Difficulties in developing successful prevention strategies include (a) limited data on the prevalence of AIDS risk behaviors among minorities, (b) limited information on successful community interventions for minority populations, and (c) problems in using social networks for AIDS prevention.
