SUMMARY
The report presents the results, analysis, and recommendations from a knowledge/ attitude/ behavior survey conducted among gay and bisexual men of color in San Francisco, focusing on the American-Indian, Filipino, and Latino populations. Results demonstrate that levels of at-risk behavior among gay and bisexual men of color are high and knowledge alone does not translate into behavioral changes. Also highlighted are factors that contribute to people not using condoms. Recommendations are available on how to implement appropriate HIV prevention strategies in the minority gay and bisexual community.
