We assessed the campaign’s reception ba…
Social and Proximate Determinants of the Frequency of Condom Use Among African, Caribbean, and Other Black People in a Canadian City
HIV risk perception and distribution of HIV risk among African, Caribbean and other Black people in a Canadian city
The results show that perceptions about ACB people's HIV risk differ from actual risk, and those with higher social standing might be at greater risk. Furthermore, the social determinants of health are important factors in the epidemiology of HIV among ACB people
