Culturally appropriate HIV prevention program for same-gender-loving men of color
Many Men, Many Voices (3MV) is a six-session prevention program that uses group interaction to address behavioral risk factors specific to same-gender-loving men of color, or men of color who have sex with men (MSM).
Many Men, Many Voices provides a safe environment for men of color to address real life issues. Activities for 3MV center around cultural and social norms, the dynamics of sexual relationships, and the social influences of racism and homophobia.
All six sessions are held during an interactive, up-lifting weekend retreat.
“Loving yourself starts with liking yourself, which starts with respecting yourself, which starts of thinking of yourself in positive ways.”
