Overview

Formative study demonstrates a cultural humility training curriculum for Black female facilitators, highlighting the necessity of mitigating bias to optimize HIV prevention.

Key Points

  • To develop a tailored LGBTQ+ sexual health and cultural humility curriculum for Black women serving as peer facilitators in an HIV prevention intervention for young Black sexual minority men.
  • Conducted formative qualitative interviews with prospective Black female intervention facilitators in the southern United States.
  • Designed a learner-centered curriculum rooted in cultural competence and cultural humility frameworks, co-facilitated by a Black sexual minority male researcher.
  • Delivered interactive modules covering bias reduction, HIV epidemiology, intersectional stigma, and LGBTQ-specific sexual health.
  • Formative qualitative interviews identified unaddressed homophobic viewpoints among potential facilitators, highlighting substantial risks to participant safety and program success.
  • The resulting curriculum successfully established educational components addressing interpersonal bias, cultural competence, and affirming communication to support pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake.
