Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to develop and test a program to help Black men who have sex with men and women reduce their chances of getting or giving HIV infection to their sex partners. The program is designed to be delivered via the internet so that it would be available to more men. Men who agree to participate in the study will be assigned by chance to receive the POWER intervention or a similar program that is focused on general health called POWER-HEALTH. They will also complete a computer administered interview when they first enroll in the study, 2 weeks following the last session of the program and 3 months after that. Participants will receive a small compensation for their time and effort.
