Abstract

In this qualitative study, a social constructivist lens is used to examine the themes and meanings of HIV testing and prevention that emerge for 56 heterosexual African American and Latina women as shaped by their beliefs, perceptions, and experiences. The findings suggests a community and government multisystemic approach that increases gender equality to talk about sexual health; information, education, and prevention programs with a gendered approach for their children; environmental safety—protection from drugs, crime, and violence; and taking action by macro-level interventions that decrease the likelihood of the spread of HIV in communities of color.
