This paper examines self-reported risk factors and perceived chance of getting HIV/AIDS using five representative surveys of adult Albertans obtained in 1990, 1992, 1994, 1995, and 1996. The findings from this trend analysis demonstrate that less than 10% of respondents perceived their chance of getting HIV/AIDS to be medium or high. Persons with multiple sex partners tended to perceive themselves to be at risk. Almost 20% of respondents reported one or more new sex partners in the last two years prior to the survey. Condom use with new sex partners increased substantially. Fifteen percent of respondents reported two or more sex partners in total in the last two years prior to the survey. Fourteen percent reported having two or more sex partners including at least one casual sex partner, and of these 61% reported always using condoms with their casual sex partner(s). Finally, the most striking finding is the perception among health care workers that they are at risk for contracting HIV/AIDS.
本文利用1990年、1992年、1994年、1995年和1996年对艾伯塔省成年人进行的五项代表性调查，研究了自我报告的风险因素以及感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的感知可能性。这一趋势分析的结果表明，不到10%的受访者认为自己感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的可能性为中等或高。有多个性伴侣的人往往认为自己有风险。近20%的受访者报告在调查前的过去两年中有一个或多个新的性伴侣。与新性伴侣使用避孕套的情况大幅增加。15%的受访者报告在调查前的过去两年中总共拥有两个或更多性伴侣。14%的受访者报告有两个或更多性伴侣，其中至少有一个是临时性伴侣，在这些人中，61%的人报告总是与他们的临时性伴侣使用避孕套。最后，最引人注目的发现是医护人员认为自己有感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的风险。
