    Notes: Abstract Our objective was to investigate sexualcommunication and risk-taking behaviors among young menwho have sex with men (MSM). MSM aged 17 to 25 yearswere recruited from four areas throughout California. The construct Safer Sex Communication, assessedthrough principal-components analysis, was defined asperceived efficacy or experience in minimizing the riskof sexual HIV infection through communication with partners. In the 6 months prior to thesurvey, 35.6% of the MSM had participated in unprotectedanal intercourse (UAI). Adjusted logistic regressionanalyses found low Safer Sex Communication to be predictive of UAI. In addition, negativeattitudes toward safe sex, high perceived risk of HIVinfection, 10 or more male sex partners during theprevious 6 months, and use of cocaine in the past 6months were also independently related to UAI. SaferSex Communication skills should be an outcome ofinterventions designed to prevent HIV transmission amongyoung MSM.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To determine whether knowledge of zidovudine treatment to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV increases the likelihood of HIV testing among women of childbearing age at increased risk for HIV infection. Method: Data from two samples were analyzed. The Young Women Survey was a population-based, door-to-door survey of 2,545 women aged 18 to 29 years who were living in lower-income neighborhoods. For the Perinatal Survey, women receiving prenatal care or who had delivered within the previous six months (N = 850) were recruited at randomly selected sites. Most (71.2%) of these participants were covered by public payment sources for their prenatal care. Data were collected within California counties with high rates of HIV among newborns, high rates of HIV among female clients of alternative test sites, and high rates of AIDS among female injection drug users. Most participants from both surveys were women of color. Results: Participants who knew about zidovudine therapy for HIV-positive pregnant women were more likely to have had an HIV test, regardless of race/ethnicity, age, education, or number of previous births. The majority of women (79.3%) from both samples stated that they were more likely to take a test for HIV knowing about zidovudine treatment. Conclusions: HIV educators should include information on zidovudine therapy in campaigns designed to promote HIV testing among women. Prenatal care providers should incorporate a brief discussion about the benefits of zidovudine treatment when providing HIV counseling to patients.
