Problem:
In the Caribbean region, women and young girls are becoming infected with HIV at a 6:1 rate more than men. Our study investigated effective methods for reducing HIV/AIDS risks among adolescent girls in the Caribbean.
Methods:
One hundred females, aged 15-21, were randomly assigned into a control or intervention group. Subjects were assessed at baseline and postintervention.
Findings:
Analysis of variance revealed that items measuring feelings about self, perceived risk, and sexual attitudes had statistically significant postintervention increase.
Conclusion:
Sustainable HIV/AIDS prevention programs that address stigma, promote HIV testing, and reinforce safer sex practices are needed.
