Recruiting London gay men into HIV vaccine trial is feasible.
2004 OCT 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Recruiting London gay men into an HIV vaccine trial is feasible.
"This paper describes a study among HIV-negative gay men in London to examine willingness to volunteer for an HIV vaccine trial. HIV-negative gay men (n=506) were surveyed in central London gyms in February-March 2002. Information was collected on willingness to volunteer for an HIV vaccine trial, attitudes toward HIV vaccines and sexual risk behavior. Men reporting unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) in the previous 3 months with a man of unknown or discordant HIV status were classified as being at high risk of exposure to HIV (n=94, 18.6%). The remainder, who reported no UAI or UAI only with another HIV-negative man, were considered to be at low risk (n=412, 81.4%)," scientists in England report.
"Just under a quarter of the HIV-negative men in the study (23.4%) said they were either quite likely or very likely to volunteer for an HIV vaccine trial," said Lorraine Sherr at Royal Free and University College Medical School and collaborators at City University in London. "High-risk men were more likely to say they would volunteer for a trial than low-risk men (37.2% vs 20.2%, p
"Based on these figures, we estimated that to recruit 1,000 high-risk HIV-negative men into a vaccine trial between 15,000 and 62,000 HIV-negative men would need to be approached in the community," reported the researchers. "Compared with those at low risk, a greater proportion of high-risk men said that if they were in an HIV vaccine trial they would be more likely to have unprotected sex (23.4% vs 7.8%, p
The investigators concluded, "This study suggests that, in London, to recruit high-risk HIV-negative gay men for ...
