AIDS and condom-related knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors were assessed in Mexican migrant laborers. The sample consisted of 55 men and 32 women who were administered a modified version of the Hispanic Condom Questionnaire. Results indicated that respondents were knowledgeable about actual modes of HIVtransmission butthata third to half of the sample believed they could contract AIDS from unlikely sources such as mosquito bites, public bathrooms, and kissing on the mouth. Knowledge of proper condom use was problematic, and frequency of condom use during the past year was no higher than half of the time. Concern about contracting AIDS was generally low but was highestfor migrants that were younger andfor those with multiple sex partners. Although respondents reportedfew negative beliefs about the consequences of condom use, most believed that women would be seen as promiscuous for carrying condoms
