The study was done to determine the association between religiosity and behaviors likely to reduce new HIV infections among 1,224 Muslim youth. Respondents with Sujda, the hyperpigmented spot on the forehead due to prostration during prayers, were more likely to abstain from sex, be faithful in marriage, and avoid alcohol and narcotics. Males wearing a Muslim cap were more likely to abstain from sex and avoid alcohol and narcotics. Females wearing the long dress (Hijab) were also more likely to avoid alcohol. This data should be used by stakeholders in promoting behaviors likely to reduce new HIV infections among Muslims.
本研究旨在确定宗教信仰与可能减少 1224 名穆斯林青年新感染 HIV 行为之间的关联。前额因祈祷而出现的色素沉着斑（即 Sujda）的受访者更可能禁欲、忠于婚姻、避免饮酒和吸毒。戴穆斯林帽子的男性更可能禁欲和避免饮酒和吸毒。穿长袍（Hijab）的女性也更可能避免饮酒。这些数据应由利益相关者用于促进穆斯林中可能减少新 HIV 感染的行为。
