No strings attached”
Prior quantitative research with gay and bisexual men (GBM) has documented high rates of sexual risk behavior during recreational travel. Although some associations are known (e.g., substance use at the tourist destination is associated with sexual risk), less is known about GBM’s motivations for travel and the cognitive and attitudinal factors that influence their sexual behavior while vacationing. In the present study, we conducted qualitative …
Combined prevention for persons who inject drugs in the HIV epidemic in a transitional country
The study was undertaken to assess the potential effectiveness of combined HIV prevention on the very high seroprevalence epidemic among persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Tallinn, Estonia, a transitional country. Data from community-based cross-sectional (respondent-driven sampling) surveys of PWID in 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011 were used together with mathematical modeling of injection-associated HIV acquisition to estimate changes in injection-…
Audit Culture
Evaluation has become expected within the nonprofit sector, including HIV prevention service delivery through community-based organizations (CBOs). While staff and directors at CBOs may acknowledge the potential contribution of evaluation data to the improvement of agency services, the results of evaluation are often used to demonstrate fiscal prudence, efficiency, and accountability to funders and the public, rather than to produce information f…

A quantitative study of Michigan's criminal HIV exposure law
The objectives of the project were (1) to determine the extent to which HIV-positive persons living in Michigan were aware of and understood Michigan's criminal HIV exposure law, (2) to examine whether awareness of the law was associated with seropositive status disclosure to prospective sex partners, and, (3) to examine whether awareness of the law was associated with potential negative effects of the law on persons living with HIV (PLWH) includ…

New Jersey’s HIV Exposure Law and the HIV-Related Attitudes, Beliefs, and Sexual and Seropositive Status Disclosure Behaviors of Persons Living With HIV
Objectives. We explored associations between awareness of New Jersey’s HIV exposure law and the HIV-related attitudes, beliefs, and sexual and seropositive status disclosure behaviors of HIV-positive persons. Methods. A statewide convenience sample (n = 479) completed anonymous written surveys during 2010. We recruited participants through networks of community-based organizations in the state’s 9 health sectors. The survey assessed participants'…
Heterosexual anal intercourse and HIV infection risks in the context of alcohol serving venues, Cape Town, South Africa
Anal intercourse likely plays a significant role in HIV infections among a small minority of South Africans who patronize alcohol serving establishments. Heterosexual anal intercourse, the most risky sexual behavior for HIV transmission, should not be ignored in HIV prevention for South African heterosexuals. However, this relatively infrequent behavior should not become the focus of prevention efforts

A Conceptual Model of Interventions to Increase Diagnosis of Acute HIV Infection and Reduce Forward Transmission
Cost of OraQuick oral fluid rapid HIV testing at 35 community clinics and community-based organizations in the USA
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the expanded use of rapid HIV antibody tests in community settings to increase the proportion of persons who are aware of their HIV status. The cost of providing rapid testing services in these settings is not known. We conducted a cost survey of non-profit community clinics and community-based organizations (CBOs). The final study sample for the cost analyses included 28 community clin…
Lessons Learned about Behavioral Science and Acute/Early HIV Infection. The Nimh Multisite Acute HIV Infection Study
Behavior Change Following Diagnosis with Acute/Early HIV Infection—A Move to Serosorting with Other HIV-Infected Individuals. The Nimh Multisite Acute HIV Infection Study
Risk reductions behaviors are especially important during acute/early HIV infection, a period of high transmission risk. We examined how sexual behaviors changed following diagnosis of acute/early HIV infection. Twenty-eight individuals completed structured surveys and in-depth interviews shortly after learning of their infection and 2 months later. Quantitative analyses revealed significant changes after diagnosis, including reductions in total …

Where the boys are
The main objectives of this study were to examine relationships between vacation sex expectations and travelling companionship type (solo, paired, or group), and behavioural outcomes such as engaging in a relationship while on vacation, procuring condoms, and initiating condom use with vacation sex partners among tourist women in Costa Rica. A brief interview was used to assess sociodemographic characteristics, vacation sex expectations and relat…

An empirical study of ordinal condom use measures
Accurate condom use assessment is critical in sexually transmitted infection-prevention research. Ordinal condom use frequency measures may be problematic due to subjective interpretation by respondents. To assess this potential bias, we examined the ordinal condom use labels (e.g., "never," "rarely," etc.) assigned by college students to 17 scenarios that described how frequently a hypothetical couple used condoms. Scenarios varied by condom use…

HIV Infections and Associated Costs Attributable to Syphilis Coinfection Among African Americans
Objectives. We estimated the number and cost of syphilis-attributable HIV cases among African Americans. Methods. A mathematical model of HIV transmission was used to estimate the number of partnerships consisting of HIV-discordant African Americans in which infectious syphilis was present and the number of new HIV cases attributable to syphilis in these partnerships. Results. In 2000, an estimated 545 new cases of HIV infection among African Ame…
Is it “Sex”
Little is known regarding how respondents interpret terms that are commonly used in sexual behavior surveys. The present study assessed the impact of four factors on respondents' judgments of whether the hypothetical actors "Jim" and "Susie " would consider a particular behavior that they had engaged in to be "sex." The four factors were respondent's gender, actor's gender, type of act (vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse), and who achieved orgasm…

Is risky sex rational
Consideration of a simple model of sexual decision‐making suggests that many individuals who engage in risky sexual practices do so for “rational” reasons. Within a framework of subjective values and perceptions, risky sex may be rational in the sense that the benefits derived from sexual expression outweigh the threat of loss from AIDS. One implication of this conceptualization is that in order to understand risky behavior, primary consideration…

Perceived Benefits and Barriers Associated with the Female Condom among African-American Adults
This study examined perceived benefits and barriers associated with intentions to use the female condom among a sample of 143 African-American adults in Milwaukee, USA. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire. Aesthetics and contraceptive efficacy predicted women's intentions to use the female condom with a main sex partner. For men, intentions to use the device with a main partner were predicted by beliefs that the female condom is af…

Base rates revisited
The efficiency of a diagnostic test is largely determined by the base rate, or prevalence, of disease in the population under study, with the consequence that low prevalence diseases are often difficult to detect. However, a review of clinical decision‐making, from a Bayesian standpoint, indicates that even relatively inefficient measures may be effective when combined in appropriate ways, and when the costs and benefits of detection versus non‐d…
