Young Latino migrant men who have sex with men are at high risk for HIV infection. The Popular Opinion Leader intervention, shown to be effective with White gay men, was adapted by the Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc., for this Latino migrant population. This project, called the Young Latino Promotores, was implemented over a 2-year period by community-based organizations in Vista, California, and McAllen, Texas, based on the promotores de salud (community health worker) model, using people from the community to provide information in a culturally appropriate manner. We report on challenges, preliminary findings, and lessons learned from adapting this intervention.
