    Notes: Abstract Multiple risk factors in young African-Americans have tremendous implications for the spread of AIDS. Two hundred forty-two heterosexual college students were classified as having low, moderate, or high risk for HIV infection based upon their self-reported sexual practices. Results indicated that subjects differed in AIDS knowledge and attitudes toward condoms with respect to both Gender and Risk level, with men and High Risk individuals being less knowledgeable and having more negative attitudes than their female and Low Risk counterparts respectively. Interaction effects revealed that High Risk men were less knowledgeable than both Low Risk men and High Risk women. High Risk men as well as High and Low Risk women reported more anger surrounding condom usage than Low Risk men. Low perceptions of vulnerability for AIDS were reflected in the entire sample. The implications of this study for primary prevention and future research are discussed.

    Sex, Drugs, and HIV: Does Methadone Maintenance Reduce Drug Use and Risky Sexual Behavior? (2000)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract This study examined differences in drug use, sexual behavior, attitudes, and perceptions of vulnerability for AIDS between injection drug users who received methadone treatment in the previous 6 months and those who did not. Of the 123 participants assessed, 62 (50%) received methadone treatment. Methadone patients reported fewer sexual partners and greater use of condoms compared to nonmethadone patients. Methadone patients also reported fewer high-risk sexual partners than those not in treatment. Women reported more high-risk partners than men. Methadone patients reported drinking alcohol less, but smoking marijuana more than nonmethadone users. Methadone users had more positive beliefs about the efficacy of condoms for preventing AIDS and expressed less anger than nonmethadone users in situations related to condom usage. These findings have important implications for using methadone maintenance to reduce the dual risk for HIV in injection drug users.
