  ABSTRACT: In this article, the systematic development of an Internet HIV-prevention intervention, based on the Intervention Mapping (IM) protocol, is described. As such, the present article meets the recent calls for more detailed descriptions of the development of health promotion programs. In doing so, the different steps of IM are introduced and applied to the promotion of HIV-testing among sexually active Men who have Sex with Men. Particular attention is given to the Internet setting of the program, which is called “Queermasters”. The additional value of IM to the development of Internet health promotion programs and the advantages of using the Internet for health promotion purposes are considered.On expose dans cet article le développement systématique d’une prévention du sida par Internet à partir du protocole de programmation des interventions (IM). Par suite, nous rejoignons les actuelles demandes de descriptions plus détaillées du développement des programmes de promotion de la santé. Pour ce faire, les différentes étapes de l’IM sont prises en compte et appliquées à la promotion du test HIV chez les hommes sexuellement actifs avec d’autres hommes. Une attention particulière est accordée à la présentation Internet du programme qui est dénommé« Queermasters » (« Les Maîtres de la déviance »). On analyse la plus-value qu’apporte l’IM au lancement de programmes de promotion de la santé sur Internet, ainsi que les avantages de l’utilisation d’Internet dans le but de promouvoir la santé.

  Article: Reasons for not taking an HIV-test among untested men who have sex with men: an Internet study.

  ABSTRACT: The present paper focuses on reasons for not taking an HIV-test among untested men who have sex with men (MSM). From an MSM web-based survey, 1627 MSM who had never tested for HIV were selected for the reported analyses. Results show that fear of a positive test result and the perceived consequences thereof, are reported as the most important reasons for not taking an HIV-test among at-risk respondents. The most important reasons for not taking an HIV-test among no-risk respondents are related to perception of low risk for HIV-infection. Implications for future interventions to promote HIV-testing are discussed.
