A cross-sectional survey examined demographic characteristics, self-reported sexual behaviors, and knowledge of AIDS in samples of 106 homeless persons and 260 college students. As expected, the two samples differed with respect to age, gender, race, and education. Respondents in both samples possessed moderate knowledge of HIV infection and AIDS and reported they considered their personal risk of HIV infection low. Both samples acknowledged frequent use of alcohol with sexual activity, active and passive oral sex, and lax use of condoms. A discriminant analysis indicated that a greater percentage of college students were sexually active than of the homeless sample and that the homeless group had a higher proportion of individuals who were either homosexual or bisexual, who had sexual contact with multiple partners or who had visited a prostitute, who had sexually transmitted diseases, and who had injected drugs. Although the risk profiles differed, each group reported high-risk behaviors and perceptions of low personal risk of HIV infection.
一项横断面调查研究了106名无家可归者和260名大学生样本的人口统计学特征、自我报告的性行为以及艾滋病知识。不出所料，这两个样本在年龄、性别、种族和教育程度方面存在差异。两个样本中的受访者对艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病都有一定的了解，并表示他们认为自己感染艾滋病毒的个人风险较低。两个样本都承认在性行为中经常饮酒、有主动和被动口交行为，以及不经常使用避孕套。判别分析表明，与无家可归者样本相比，有性行为的大学生比例更高，而且无家可归者群体中同性恋或双性恋者、与多个性伴侣有性接触者、光顾过妓女者、患有性传播疾病者以及注射过毒品者的比例更高。尽管风险概况不同，但每个群体都报告了高风险行为以及对自身感染艾滋病毒低个人风险的认知。
