We assessed the efficacy of an HIV behavioral intervention adapted for Black men who have sex with men (MSM). <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We conducted serial cross-sectional surveys, 1 baseline measurement followed by initiation of an intervention and 3 follow-up measurements, among Black MSM in 3 North Carolina cities over 1 year. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. We observed significant decreases in unprotected receptive anal intercourse at 4 months (by 23.8%, n=287) and 8 months (by 24.7%, n=299), and in unprotected insertive anal intercourse (by 35.2%), unprotected receptive anal intercourse (by 44.1%), and any unprotected anal intercourse (by 31.8%) at 12 months (n=268). Additionally, at 12 months, the mean number of partners for unprotected receptive anal intercourse decreased by 40.5%. The mean number of episodes decreased by 53.0% for unprotected insertive anal intercourse, and by 56.8% for unprotected receptive anal intercourse. The percentage of respondents reporting always using condoms for insertive and receptive anal intercourse increased by 23.0% and 30.3%, respectively. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Adapting previously proven interventions designed for other MSM can significantly reduce HIV risk behaviors of Black MSM. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2007.120337","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,30]],"date-time":"2008-04-30T01:43:57Z","timestamp":1209519837000},"page":"1043-1050","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":142,"title":["Evaluation of an HIV Prevention Intervention Adapted for Black Men Who Have Sex With Men"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Kenneth T.","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kenneth T.
