To evaluate the HOLA en Grupos intervention, a Spanish-language small-group behavioral HIV prevention intervention designed to increase condom use and HIV testing among Hispanic\/Latino gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. In 2012 to 2015, we recruited and randomized 304 Hispanic\/Latino men who have sex with men, aged 18 to 55 years in North Carolina, to the 4-session HOLA en Grupos intervention or an attention-equivalent general health education comparison intervention. Participants completed structured assessments at baseline and 6-month follow-up. Follow-up retention was 100%. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. At follow-up, relative to comparison participants, HOLA en Grupos participants reported increased consistent condom use during the past 3 months (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]\u2009=\u20094.1; 95% confidence interval [CI]\u2009=\u20092.2, 7.9; P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) and HIV testing during the past 6 months (AOR\u2009=\u200913.8; 95% CI\u2009=\u20097.6, 25.3; P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). HOLA en Grupos participants also reported increased knowledge of HIV (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) and sexually transmitted infections (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001); condom use skills (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), self-efficacy (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), expectancies (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), and intentions (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001); sexual communication skills (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.01); and decreased fatalism (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. The HOLA en Grupos intervention is efficacious for reducing HIV risk behaviors among Hispanic\/Latino men who have sex with men. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2017.303814","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,20]],"date-time":"2017-04-20T19:42:09Z","timestamp":1492717329000},"page":"969-976","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Small-Group Randomized Controlled Trial to Increase Condom Use and HIV Testing Among Hispanic\/Latino Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Scott D.","family":"Rhodes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Scott D.
