Abstract

This study explored the feasibility and acceptability of Entre Herman@s, a novel sibling-based intervention designed to engage siblings to increase PrEP utilization among Latino men who have sex with men (LMSM). Siblings were trained in rudimentary motivational interviewing skills to uncover, evoke, and strengthen their brother's motivation to use PrEP, using the constructs of the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model for health behavior change. This pilot demonstrated high feasibility, meeting recruitment, retention, and intervention completion targets. Of the 23 LMSM enrolled, 16 (70%) commenced PrEP, with 12 (75%) continuing at the 3-month follow-up. Initially, 15 participants (65%) were open to PrEP, with 9 (39%) ready to start within the next month. Those who began PrEP use reported a significantly higher degree of closeness to their siblings (p = .019) than those who did not. All LMSMs affirmed that their decision to use PrEP was influenced to some degree by their sibling.

以兄弟姐妹为基础的在线干预试点研究，旨在提高拉丁裔 MSM 对 PrEP 的接受率和意愿。

这项研究探讨了 Entre Herman@s 的可行性和可接受性，这是一项以兄弟姐妹为基础的新型干预措施，旨在让兄弟姐妹参与进来，提高拉丁裔男男性行为者（LMSM）对 PrEP 的利用率。兄弟姐妹们接受了基本的动机访谈技能培训，以便利用健康行为改变的信息-动机-行为技能（IMB）模型，发现、唤起并加强其兄弟使用 PrEP 的动机。该试点项目具有很高的可行性，达到了招募、保留和干预完成的目标。在 23 名 LMSM 参与者中，16 人（70%）开始进行 PrEP，其中 12 人（75%）在 3 个月的随访中继续进行 PrEP。最初，15 名参与者（65%）对 PrEP 持开放态度，其中 9 人（39%）准备在下个月开始使用。开始使用 PrEP 的参与者与兄弟姐妹的亲密程度（p = .019）明显高于未开始使用的参与者。所有 LMSM 都确认，他们使用 PrEP 的决定在某种程度上受到了兄弟姐妹的影响。
