Proposed Project 

Exploring HIV Prevention 

Communication Among Black Men Who 

Have Sex with Men In New York City: 

Project BROTHA—New—National 

Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 

Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and 

Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description: 

CDC is requesting OMB approval to 

administer a survey, conduct interviews 

and offer HIV rapid testing in Black Men 

who have sex with Men (BMSM) and 

other Men who have Sex with Men 

(MSM) in New York City. The purpose 

of the proposed study is to assess how 

interpersonal communication within 

BMSM social networks may be related 

to risk for HIV infection and attitudes 

towards HIV testing. 

Data collection will occur over the 

course of 2–3 years. After screening for 

eligibility, a total of 300 BMSM and 

other MSM in their social networks will 

be enrolled in 2 phases: (1) 350 BMSM 

will be recruited and screened to find 

100 eligible BMSM participants, and (2) 

the 100 first phase participants will then 

recruit 200 other MSM within their 

social networks to participate in the 

second phase. Quantitative surveys will 

be administered by computers and 

personal interviews will be conducted 

to collect qualitative data (at baseline 

and 3-month follow-up). Participants in 

both phases will be offered rapid HIV 

testing, and declining an HIV test will 

not negatively impact their study 

participation. The research questions 

being explored are relevant for 

understanding how interpersonal 

communication with members of one’s 

social networks are related to risk for 

contracting HIV infection and attitudes 

towards HIV testing. 

This study will provide important 

epidemiologic information useful for the 

development of HIV prevention 

interventions for BMSM. Men will 

complete a 5-minute eligibility 

screening interview. The baseline 

computer-based survey will take 45 

minutes. The qualitative interview will 

take approximately 75 minutes. The 

number of respondents who will accept 

HIV testing is estimated to be 200 

(accounting for those who did not test 

at baseline and those who do not 

consent to test at follow-up). HIV 

counseling and rapid testing will take 

45 minutes. The 3-month follow-up 

survey will take approximately 30 

minutes; the follow-up qualitative 

interview will take approximately 45 

minutes. There is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time.
