Since public opinion can influence policies and resource distribution, this …

Careful Conversations and Careful Sex: HIV Posttesting Experiences Among African American Men in Rural Florida
PURPOSE: In the United States, black/African American (black) men bear the greatest burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), accounting for 42% of new HIV infections in 2012 despite being 6% of the population. In Florida, heterosexual HIV transmission has increased among black men. Few studies have examined HIV testing experiences for black heterosexual men (BHM) in the rural South. This study describes the post-HIV-testing trial experiences…
Community-based electronic data collections for HIV prevention research with black/African-American men in the rural, Southern USA
In Florida, the HIV case rate among black men is five times that of white men; tailored HIV prevention interventions are lacking. Historical concerns regarding trust with public health venues and sharing sensitive information make face-to-face data collection with some rural, southern black men challenging. We evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of using audio computer-assisted self-interviews (ACASIs) by local community-based organizatio…

Double Whammy: Accessing, Recruiting and Retaining the Hidden of the Hidden
Recruitment of women who use crack is challenging in any environment, but especially in rural environments. The nature of rural environments, which limits confidentiality, coupled with conservative views and stigma associated with drug use, contributes to the difficulty of access to rural residents who use illicit drugs if one only uses traditional recruitment strategies. This ethnographic study among rural black women who use powder and crack co…
