Few interventions have been designed to improve behavioral outcomes and reduce risk of HIV transmission of individuals living with HIV, most focusing on preventative efforts directed at individuals who are HIV-negative. However, people living with HIV present individual and public health risks (infection with a different strain of HIV, health complications from contracting STD's, continued sexual activity with individuals with unknown HIV status) that have become the focus of intervention efforts. The current paper explores a promising new intervention, The Positive Choices Mapping intervention (PCM), designed to increase condom self-efficacy and use among African American crack cocaine smokers who are living with HIV. The intervention was grounded in Social Cognitive Theory and incorporated an empirically backed visual representation strategy (node-link mapping). The focus of the current paper is on the main components of the intervention.
几乎没有设计出旨在改善艾滋病毒感染者行为结果并降低其艾滋病毒传播风险的干预措施,大多数干预措施都侧重于针对艾滋病毒阴性个体的预防工作。然而,艾滋病毒感染者存在个体和公共健康风险(感染不同毒株的艾滋病毒、感染性传播疾病引发的健康并发症、与艾滋病毒感染状况不明的个体持续进行性行为),这些已成为干预工作的重点。本文探讨了一种有前景的新干预措施,即积极选择映射干预(PCM),旨在提高感染艾滋病毒的非裔美国可卡因吸食者的避孕套自我效能感及使用率。该干预措施以社会认知理论为基础,并纳入了一种经实证支持的视觉呈现策略(节点-链接映射)。本文的重点是该干预措施的主要组成部分。
