This study describes predictions of condom use and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody testing in a population-based sample of African-American heterosexuals who reported HIV risk behavior.
Data were taken from the National AIDS Behavioral Surveys.
Of the African-American respondents, 22% reported some risk for HIV infection; of those, 24% had been tested for HIV.
Prevention messages encouraging HIV testing and condom use have not resulted in high rates of self-protective behavior among African Americans. Future prevention interventions must focus on specific motivations and barriers with regard to engaging in preventive behavior among specific age, gender, and educational-level groups within the population of African Americans at risk for HIV infection.
本研究描述了在一个基于人群的非裔美国异性恋样本中,对避孕套使用情况和人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)抗体检测的预测,这些人报告有HIV风险行为。
数据取自全国艾滋病行为调查。
在非裔美国受访者中,22%报告有感染HIV的风险;其中,24%进行过HIV检测。
鼓励HIV检测和避孕套使用的预防信息并未在非裔美国人中带来高比例的自我保护行为。未来的预防干预措施必须关注非裔美国人中处于HIV感染风险的特定年龄、性别和教育水平群体在采取预防行为方面的具体动机和障碍。
