004-L Sexual Risk Behavior Among Latino Men in Miami-Dade

A clinical study on Latino men in Miami-Dade County, Florida, conducted by researchers at Florida International University (FIU) and the University of Miami (UM), revealed that men living in urban sections of the county were more likely to report risky sexual behaviors, such as not using condoms during vaginal sex, along with sex with multiple partners and anal sex with men. In addition to the effectiveness of the intervention, other study findings are shared in this video.
