 AB    OBJECTIVE: The main objective of our prevention project is to modify
       risk behaviors by using natural leaders in young gay peoples frequenting
       bars of Montreal. The sub-objectives are: 1--acquisition of knowledges
       on HIV and transmission modes, 2--acquisition of habilities to develop
       interpersonal relationship, 3--acquisition of positive attitude in
       regard of sexual orientation, and 4--valorization of condom using by
       peers. METHODS: Subjects will recruted via an ads in gay literature,
       those will be natural leaders. They will be formed to acquire skills to
       dissiminate information among young gay men. Two aspects will be
       develop: 1--medical aspect concerning HIV, AIDS. and transmission modes,
       2--psychosocial aspect concerning valorization of gay self-esteem.
       Recruitment of a stimulating person who will support on the grond
       natural leaders. Regular meetings to support the group and adjust the
       interventions made. Paper prevention material already existing will be
       used. The length of the project will be one year. RESULTS: We expect
       that young gay men will acquire a positive perception of homosexuality,
       a better self-esteem and finally, decrease of risk behaviors by using of
       condom. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: As our project is complementary and
       innovative to what is done for prevention of HIV transmission in
       Montreal, we believe, as illustrated by litterature, that it is addition
       of multiple interventions that will on a long term basis succeed to
       change behaviors of young gay men.
