Associations of HIV Risk Behaviors among Older Latinas and their Adult Daughters

Abstract

Patria Rojas, for being the first to inspire me and believe so deeply in me, without you and your steady persistence and faith, this would never have come to pass; you have been a boss, a teacher, a mentor, an ally, a committee member, and most of all, a friend. I would like to acknowledge the entire CRUSADA staff for all their work and countless hours of support. Also, a big thanks to all my friends for their endless encouragement, Elizabeth, Antonina, Maricarmen, Barry, Elena, Adi, and especially Mariana, without all your timeless efforts, sacrifices, and enduring mentorship and friendship, I may have never crossed over the finish line. A very special thanks to my long-time best-friend Isela Imai, though far away, your warm support always felt near and was always there when I need it most. To conclude, I'd like to acknowledge the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities for their financial contributions to my academic and professional growth. v
