Playing It Safe: Addressing the Gap in Evidenced-based HIV/AIDS Prevention Programs Targeting African American College Students

This study sought to investigate the sustained effects of a peer-led HIV prevention intervention on African American freshmen college students attending a historically Black university. Students participated in a HIV prevention intervention where data were collected at three points in time. Analysis of the data revealed that students had significant changes in HIV risk behaviors and HIV Prevention self-efficacy over time. Results of this study have implications for how to address HIV prevention among African American college students.
