Latinos in the United States are at increased risk for HIV and sexualy transmitted disease (STD) infection. We evaluated the efficacyof the pilot lay health adviser (LHA) intervention designed to increase condom useand HIV testing among Latino men. Fifteen LHAs (mean age=35.6;range 23-60 years) from 15 Latino soccer teams were trained and worked with their teammates for 18 months. Another 15 teams served as the control group. Data were collected at baseline and at 18 months post-LHA training from a random sample of temmates for intervention and control teams. Data were collected from 222 men (mean age=29 years) who participated in one of the 30 teams. Relative to the control condition, participants in the intervention reported more consistent condom use in the 30 days preceding follow-up (unadjusted analysis, intervention, 65.6% vs. control, 41.3%; p<.001. Participants in the intervention were more likely to report condom use (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] -2.3; confidence interval [CI = 1.2-4.3) and HIV testing (AOR = 2.5; CI = 1.5-4.3). LHA intervention for Latino men that are developed in partnership with community members, rely on malecentered intrapersonal networks, and are culturally congruent can enhance preventive behaviors and may reduce HIV infection.
