The study assesed ethnic differences in the perceived risks of HIV infection, sexual experiences, and HIV-antibody testing histories among Black populations in Broward Country, Florida. Data were analyzed for 2731 well-char-acterized survey respondents 18-39 years old who indicated they were African Americans, Caribbean Islanders, English-speaking, or Creole-speaking Haitians. Creole-speaking Haitians were least likely to consider themselves at risk of HIV infection, report using condoms in the last 12 months, and indicate that they had ever been tested for HIV. English-speaking Haitians were more likely that African Americans to report never angaging in sexual intercourse and were less likely to have ever been tested for HIV. English-speaking Caribbean Islanders reported preventive behaviors similar to those of African Americans, but had lower perceptions of HIV risk and were less likely to have ever been tested. Health promotion programs designed to improve HIV prevention practices must appreciate social and cultural differences among Black populations.
