Gaston Youth Hot Spot

Gaston Youth Hot Spot Brief Description
¡Cuídate! (Take Care of Yourself) is a small-group, culturally based intervention to reduce HIV s*xual risk among Latino youth.

The intervention consists of six 60-minute modules delivered to small, mixed-gender groups. ¡Cuídate! Incorporates salient aspects of Latino culture, including familialism (i.e., the importance of family) and gender-role expectations (i.e., machismo, which is described as the man's responsibility in caring for and protecting one's partner and family). These cultural beliefs are used to frame absti

nence and condom use as culturally accepted and effective ways to prevent s*xually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Through the use of role plays, videos, music, interactive games and hands-on practice, ¡Cuídate! addresses the building of HIV knowledge, understanding vulnerability to HIV infection, identifying attitudes and beliefs about HIV and safe s*x.
