  • Title: La uniendo de fronteras: collaboration to develop HIV prevention strategies for Mexican and Latino youth.
    Author: Villarruel AM, Gallegos EC, Cherry CJ, Refugio de Duran M.
    Journal: J Transcult Nurs; 2003 Jul; 14(3):193-206. PubMed ID: 12861922.
    Abstract:
    AIDS is a global epidemic. Regardless of the present incidence of AIDS, all countries must confront the threat of this devastating disease. The shared border and continued migration between Mexico and the United States as well as shared concerns about HIV/AIDS are compelling reasons to promote AIDS prevention as an important public health endeavor for both countries. This article describes collaborative efforts between nurse researchers in the United States and Mexico to decrease the risk of sexually transmitted HIV infection among adolescents. The significance of this effort to both countries and the processes and preliminary work that led to the development of a study funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research are discussed.
