“…However, research has found that HIV knowledge does not necessarily translate into less risky sexual behavior. Individuals often reported knowing about the importance of using condoms to prevent transmission of HIV but still actively chose to engage in risky sexual behaviors (Gastaldo, Holmes, Lombardo, & O'Byrne, 2009;Inungu, Mumford, Younis, & Langford, 2009;Simmon Rosser et al, 2008).…”

Thirty years into the epidemic, young men who have sex with men (YMSM) continue to be the largest at-risk group for HIV infection in the United States. In this qualitative study, face-to-face confidential interviews were conducted with 10 recently diagnosed YMSM. The purpose of the study was to explore the factors that may have contributed to each young man's recent HIV diagnosis and to solicit his perspectives on the design and efficacy of existing HIV prevention programs. Content analysis of the interview data revealed four major themes: personal risks, lack of relevant education, accessing the Internet, and the need for mentors. The informants in this study recommended the formulation of age-specific education interventions and the development of HIV prevention interventions that match the sophistication level and needs of today's gay youth to reduce the number of new HIV infections in YMSM.

“…Public health officers rarely understand how sexual health is negotiated through touching and sensing during the encounter. Public health agencies also fail to recognize that men who have sex with men do not always or often think of anal sex, even anal sex without a condom, in terms of risk prevention (Gastaldo et al, 2009;Holmes and Warner, 2005). As…”

“…These challenges include the abandonment of or non-adherence to treatment; the inappropriate use of technologies; unmet needs in health care; and acceptance of or objection to the "biomedical rationale" behind the use of mammography, HIV prevention, passive smoking and the application of evidence to clinical practice, among many other varied subjects faced by professionals and managers of the system and the wider networks. 6,13,14 Investment in the measurement of impacts/results is only one requirement (although an essential one) of researchers who are committed to supporting public health; an understanding of these complex processes is also necessary. Accordingly, key elements contributing to integration, the subject of this discussion, include studies that use models that are distant from traditional science yet are rigorous and refi ned in the exploration of solutions that require a combination of strategies.…”

The article examines core elements of the national and international discussion on the required integration between research, policy and practice in public health, and provides input for this integration. Some conceptual barriers and other barriers at different spheres that interfere with the desired integration are discussed. Evidence has shown that research, policy and practice in health are not continuous, homogenous areas but rather involve different levels and actors. Their processes develop in different grounds supported by a variety of actions, paradigms and interests that are not conflict-free. Thus, this integration is a major challenge given its complexity and multiplicity of objective and subjective aspects.
