Pilot study explores HIV and STD risks in Hispanic/Latino farmworkers, revealing significant health concerns.

The central aim was to describe HIV and STD risk factors among male Hispanic/Latino farmworkers and assess the feasibility of data collection.
Collected self-report and biomarker data from 100 male farmworkers in North Carolina during the 2008 growing season.
Evaluated condom use and associated personal characteristics among the participants.
Explored knowledge levels regarding HIV and STD transmission and prevention.
Over half of the workers reported binge drinking in the past year.
40% of sexually active workers were under the influence of alcohol during sex.
Low rates of consistent condom use: 16 reported consistent use during vaginal sex, and 2 during anal sex; 2 workers tested positive for syphilis.

Rhodes et al. (2010) studied this question.
