Little is known about factors affecting risk for HIV transmission in U.S.-based refugee populations. This study aimed to qualitatively explore the knowledge of, perceptions of, and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS among Utah-based Burundian refugees and identify potentially effective intervention approaches to reduce the community's HIV risk. Three focus groups (N = 21) were conducted, audiotaped, transcribed, translated, and coded for thematic analysis. Although the participants were aware of HIV/AIDS, most had misperceptions about HIV transmission and tended to stigmatize the disease. Sociocultural norms were found to influence HIV risk. Participants in all groups expressed interest in community-based HIV/AIDS interventions
