Promoting new models of masculinity to prevent HIV among men who have sex with men in Nicaragua. Centro para la Prevencion y Educacion del SIDA.

In Nicaragua HIV prevention for "sexually diverse" populations including men who have sex with men (MSM) is made significantly more difficult by societal norms that stigmatize same-sex sexual activity and favor conformity to strict gender roles. Centro para la Prevencion y Educacion del SIDA (CEPRESI) is addressing this issue by both working to change perceptions of masculinity in Nicaraguas general population and educating MSM on HIV prevention and treatment.
