The purpose of this program evaluation is to determine whether the "Many Men, Many Voices" HIV/STD prevention intervention is effective in reducing HIV sex risk behaviors and increasing HIV testing among African-American men who have sex with men (MSM), who may or may not self-identify as gay. The intent of this program is to support the evaluation of an existing intervention and provide feedback to the implementing organization for improved program effectiveness, not to conduct research.

People of Color in Crisis, Inc. (POCC) of Brooklyn, NY, in collaboration with the Center for Health and Behavioral Training, Rochester, NY, and Binghamton University, will evaluate “Many Men, Many Voices”, an HIV/STD intervention for African-American men who have sex with other men and who may or may not self-identify as gay. The intervention is highly interactive, and is delivered during six sessions (two 2.5-3 hour sessions per day) during a Friday-Sunday retreat. A seventh booster session is delivered at the POCC facility two weeks after the intervention retreat. The evaluation design uses an intervention (N=125) and a six-month delayed intervention comparison group (N=125). Data collection will occur at baseline, two-weeks post-retreat for the intervention group, and at 3 and 6 months follow-up for both groups to assess changes in sexual risk behaviors, self reported incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), HIV testing, and HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. The intent of this program is to support the evaluation of an existing intervention and provide feedback to the implementing organization for improved program effectiveness, not to conduct research.
