 AB    OBJECTIVE: To discuss new strategies of outreach interventio in gay bars
       and night clubs, as part of a project on AIDS prevention for MWM. (Men
       who have sex with men). METHODS: To make an analysis of the data
       collected at the weekly outreach interventions in gays night clubs and
       bars. The number of people that look for the informative material, the
       number of registrations and the attendance at the safe sex workshops.
       RESULTS: The level of interest demonstrated towards the informative
       material and the activities of this project is low, in spite of the good
       quality of the material distributed and the effort to give it out.
       DISCUSSION: The data suggest that the prevention speech faces a great
       deal of rejection among the homosexual men. The outreach intervention
       should avoid this model in order to reach a more attrative grupal
       language. New strategies are suggested aiming to lower the impact that
       AIDS presents and to create a more effective way of insertion in the gay
       community.
