This survey is the third component of an evaluation of NHVREI. This component will provide population estimates for the general and highly impacted populations (African American, Hispanic/Latino, and men who have sex with men [MSM]) regarding the proportion of individuals reporting awareness, knowledge, and attitudes supportive of the development of methods for preventing HIV (i.e., vaccine, microbicides, and PrEP). In addition, the survey will identify concerns that deter participation in clinical trials as well as other negative attitude patterns that can be targeted by future educational efforts. Information obtained will be used to guide future programs designed to improve support for the development of HIV preventive measures.
