Effects of Brief Messages About Antiretroviral Therapy and Condom Use Benefits Among Black and Latino MSM in Three U.S. Cities

This pilot study examined effects of HIV prevention messages about self and partner benefits of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and condom effectiveness on increased intentions for behavior change. Data were from Messages4Men, a study examining prevention messages among 320 HIV-positive and 605 HIV-negative Black and Latino MSM. Men completed a computer-based assessment after message exposure, and multivariable models controlled for risky sex and demographics. A majority of HIV-positive men reported increased intentions for ART use; 22% reported partner benefit information was new. HIV-positive men with a detectable viral load had significantly greater adjusted odds of reporting intentions for ART use. Over half of HIV-negative MSM reported ART benefit information was new, and 88% reported increased intentions to discuss ART use with infected partners. Black MSM anticipated they would increase condom use in response to the self and partner benefit messages. Tailored messages on benefits of ART are needed for MSM.

创造能够适应激荡的经济环境并具有竞争力的国有行业是国际上各国政府的关键任务之一(Lazonick,1990;Turner,1991).在创造支持行业和公司适应国际竞争的条件方面,一些国家已经取得了巨大成功(Porter,1990;Weiss与Hobson,1995;Mathews,1995).正当解释如何获得国际竞争力的会计项目发生变化之际,本文特别探索了国家、行业和企业层次的能力在创新采纳和创建竞争能力方面所起的作用.本文采用澳大利亚食用肉工业作为基于资源利用和开发的竞争成功的关键案例.通往行业竞争力的途径处于和资源影响途径的完全时照之中(Mathews,1997).
