SISTA

SISTA: Sisters Informing Sisters on Topics about AIDS is group-level, gender and culturally relevant intervention designed to increase condom use with African American women. Five peer-led group sessions are conducted that focus on ethnic and gender pride, HIV knowledge, and skills training around sexual risk reduction behaviors and decision making. The intervention is based on Social Learning theory as well as the theory of Gender and Power.
