At follow-up, relative to comparison participants, HOLA en Grupos participants reported increased consistent condom use during the past 3 months (adjusted odds ratio = 4.1 95% confidence interval = 2.2, 7.9 P < .001) and HIV testing during the past 6 months (AOR = 13.8 95% CI = 7.6, 25.3 P < .001).
Participants completed structured assessments at baseline and 6-month follow-up. In 2012 to 2015, we recruited and randomized 304 Hispanic/Latino men who have sex with men, aged 18 to 55 years in North Carolina, to the 4-session HOLA en Grupos intervention or an attention-equivalent general health education comparison intervention.
To evaluate the HOLA en Grupos intervention, a Spanish-language small-group behavioral HIV prevention intervention designed to increase condom use and HIV testing among Hispanic/Latino gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.
