Sexual Stigma, Coping Styles, and Psychological Distress
Demographic and health surveys indicate limited impact of condoms and HIV testing in four African countries
Condom promotion and HIV testing for the general population have been major components of HIV prevention efforts in sub-Saharan Africa's high prevalence HIV epidemics, although little evidence documents their public health impact. Recent enhancements to the large, population-based demographic and health surveys (DHS) and AIDS information surveys (AIS) allow use of these data to assess the population-wide impact of these strategies.

Estimating and correcting for response bias in self‐reported HIV risk behavior
One of the most difficult problems of behavioral research on human sexuality and drug use is its reliance on people's self‐reports about their behavior. Given the essentially private nature of sexual and drug‐taking practices, many aspects of these practices are difficult, even impossible, to validate. The lack of a gold standard for self‐reports is particularly troubling with regard to HIV‐related behavior. To the extent that self‐reports are af…

Risk factors for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases and prevention practices among US heterosexual adults
OBJECTIVES.

METHODS. A longitudinal survey was conducted. RESULTS. There was little reduction in the overall prevalence of HIV risk factors in the national or high-risk cities cohorts over time. Despite this picture of stabilit…
