Summary
This completed study tested a video podcast designed to deliver HIV prevention messages to heterosexual African American adults. Researchers worked with community members to create the podcast, then measured changes in condom use confidence, HIV testing intentions, and actual testing behavior at 1 and 3 months. The goal was to see if this approach could be a practical way to reach people who might not otherwise access prevention programs.
