The major purpose of this book is to examine the
interrelationships among knowledge about the transmission of
HIV/AIDS, condom use, drug use, history of sexually transmitted
diseases, and other relevant factors that affect African-American
males and females who engage in risky sexual behaviors. Another aim
is to describe how these factors are differentially related to
gender and the perceived susceptibility of being exposed to the
AIDS virus and testing positive for AIDS. Data has been gathered
from a young adult sample of African-American males and females.
Information is presented in a readily accessible manner so the
reader can understand the variability of risky sexual behaviors.
The author offers factual information to draw conclusions that can
be used to develop HIV/AIDS prevention programs specifically
tailored for the African-American community.
The first chapter provides an introduction, rationale, and
overview of the study. Basic information about the prevalence of
AIDS among various African-American populations are presented.
Then, Johnson describes information about the subjects, measures of
sexual behaviors, drug use, attitudes about the use of condoms,
knowledge about AIDS, and perceived susceptibility of being exposed
to HIV/AIDS. Next, Johnson describes the sexual attitudes and
behaviors of African-American males and females who are currently
involved with multiple partners and those who have been previously
treated for sexually transmitted diseases. He then describes the
characteristics of African-Americans with HIV/AIDS. The epilogue
summarizes the major findings and presents suggestions for AIDS
prevention activities for African-American young adults.
