Cultural Factors and Program Implications: HIV/AIDS Interventions and Condom Use among Latinos.
Yeakley, Anna M.; Gant, Larry M.
Journal of Multicultural Social Work, v6 n3-4 p47-71 1997
Discusses the failure to use condoms among U.S. Latino populations and identifies six "myths" related to traditional cultural values and gender roles, and associations between condoms and prostitution, infidelity, and disease, that prevent condom use in these populations. Suggests ways that programs can address these myths in HIV prevention strategies targeting Latinos. Contains 52 references. (SAS)
