HIV/AIDS Education for Latino "Solo Male" Farmworkers: The results of a series of focus groups with stakeholders
Author: NCFH
Date Published: 2011
Many health center staff, administrators, and grant writers struggle to find resources to provide HIV prevention education that meets the unique needs of their farmworker clients, especially farmworker men who travel without their families. This group of farmworkers is of particular concern because research has shown that they are more likely to engage in risky behaviors related to HIV, including the use of prostitutes, men having sex with men, needle sharing, and uprotected heterosexual sex. The purpose of this report is to inform the work of health and social service providers, researchers, and policy makers as they promote increased access to HIV/AIDS information, knowledge, and resources for the farmworker population.
