The HIP LADIES: A Pilot Health Improvement Project for HIV Prevention in Black College Women.

A disproportionate number of new HIV infections in the United States occur in Black women. We pilot-tested feasibility and acceptability of a manualized HIV prevention intervention developed with and for Black college women. We used a prospective, randomized 2-group design, with 3 data collection times. Participants included 18- to 24-year-old Black women (N = 65), who were enrolled at 2 southern universities; 46 completed pre- and post-assessments. We found that participants in the intervention arm had positive changes in HIV knowledge (p < .0001) and behavioral intentions (p = .039) outcomes. There were, however, no significant differences between intervention and control groups when considering motivational factors and behavioral skills that promoted HIV prevention: social norms, condom use self-efficacy, and assertive sexual communication. We found preliminary evidence of efficacy for an HIV prevention intervention tailored to Black college women. Researchers should partner with Black college women to develop and implement HIV prevention interventions.
