 AB    OBJECTIVE. To prevent the spread of HIV among young adults through a
       comprehensive HIV/AIDS education and empowerment program led by members
       of fraternities and sororities. METHODS. This program included: 1)
       Development of training modules; 2) Training of peer educators; 3) KAP
       Surveys; 4) Development of information materials; 5) On campus
       workshops, condom and brochure distribution and other outreach projects.
       RESULTS. The program gave rise to a broader sex education program that
       included discussions on sexual identity, roles and responsibilities.
       CONCLUSIONS. This program was able to bridge the gap between knowledge
       and behavioral changes by utilizing peer support systems. Peer pressure
       also assured the maintenance of safer sex behaviors.
