API-X
- Xpect cool locations
- Xpect meeting other young A&PI guys like you
- Xpect fun
But don't expect it to be some typical boring research study!
Who are we?
Asian & Pacific Islander Escape (A&PI-X) is just one
of the exciting research collaborations between Asian &
Pacific Islander Wellness Center and the University of California
San Francisco.
What do we do?
Put on fun free weekend getaways where participants can explore,
challenge, learn, and enjoy.
Who's it for?
People like you: 18 to 24 year old gay, bi, or questioning
men of Asian & Pacific Islander descent.
What goes on?
We'll introduce ourselves and over the weekend, we will get
to know each other and ourselves better through activities
that cover identity, dating, sex, and partying. And there
will be plenty of free time to hang out, talk one-on-one,
and explore the local sights.
What can you get?
In addition to a fun free weekend away surrounded by nature,
you'll have the opportunity to spend some time with other
guys like you and to share your insights and experiences.
You can ask questions and get resources about health, sex
and HIV/AIDS prevention. It's about learning, finding support
and having fun.
Why are we doing this?
API-X's goals are to conduct a scientifically rigorous evaluation
study of an existing youth program at A&PIWC: AQU25A.
The cool folks at AQU25A have always done retreats as one
of their many activities, and now, with API-X, we do the same
thing with a scientific spin to answer the burning questions:
So AQU25A has done these retreats for years now, but where's
the proof it works? And if so, how does it "work"
for the people who participate in them?
In addition to contributing towards the development of more
effective HIV prevention programs for Asian & Pacific
Islanders, the project participants will also learn about
themselves and HIV in a supportive and fun environment among
their peers.
