Latino Gay Men and HIV (eBook, PDF)

Culture, Sexuality, and Risk Behavior

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

With research based on focus group and individual interviews in the United States, as well as a thorough and integrative review of the current literature, LatinoGay Men and HIV discusses the six main sociocultural factors in Latino communities -- machismo, homophobia, family cohesion, sexual silence, poverty and racism--which undermine safe sex practices. In an attempt to explain the alarmingly high incidence of unprotected intercourse in this population, this in-depth cultural and psychological analysis shows how an apparent incongruence between knowledge or intention and behavior can possess its own sociocultural logic and meaning.
