▼ The purpose of this research was to examine how attachment anxiety and rejection-salience interacted to influence condom use intentions and beliefs. I manipulated rejection-salience specific to a sexual encounter (Study 1) and rejection-salience in general (Studies 2 and 3). I hypothesized that among women who were high in anxiety, those in the rejection-salient condition would report riskier sexual tendencies related to condom use compared to those in the control condition. I did not expect rejection-salience to influence the sexual tendencies of women who were low in anxiety. In Study 1, I manipulated potential partner rejection and found that attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, and rejection-salience interacted to influence intentions to engage in unprotected sex. As expected, among women who were high in anxiety and low in avoidance, those in the rejection condition reported stronger intentions to have unprotected sex than those in the control condition. Unexpectedly, the same was true for women who were low in anxiety and high in avoidance. In Study 2, I manipulated general rejection-salience and asked women to indicate how many weeks into a relationship would be appropriate before switching from having protected to unprotected sex. Consistent with the results of Study 1, among women who were high in anxiety, those in the rejection-salience condition reported less time before switching compared to those in the control condition, demonstrating more risky sexual tendencies. In Study 3, I manipulated general rejection-salience and asked women to report how many weeks into a relationship unprotected intercourse should occur. Inconsistent with my predictions, as well as from the results of Studies 1 and 2, among women who were high in anxiety and low in avoidance, those in the rejection-salience condition reported that unprotected sex belonged later in a relationship timeline compared to those in the control condition. Study 4 explored how the exposure to positive relationship thoughts may act to buffer the influence of rejection-salience on risky sexual tendencies among highly anxious women. Some preliminary support for this hypothesis was found. Future research directions and implications for the literature on condom use and for sexual health promotion are discussed.

▼ Introduction There are many personal and behavioral factors that can decrease the effectiveness of
condoms, even when one is used every time. Clinical condom failure (the condom breaking, tearing, or completely slipping off the penis) contributes to less than perfect effectiveness rates and can be at least partially attributed to these personal and behavioral factors. Although specific use and storage behaviors can be reasons for a condom to break or slip, there are often other factors at play. Negative perceptions of
condoms, self-efficacy when using
condoms, type of sex act, and history of STI’s can all impact clinical failure rates.
Objective The purpose of this study was to assess four major factors: negative perceptions of
condoms, self-efficacy, history of STI’s, and type of sex act, and their relationship to condom breakage and slippage in a sample of 381 condom users in Atlanta, GA.
Methods Data were drawn from the baseline survey of the C-PLEASURE Study. Bivariate analyses were conducted to determine the relationship between each independent variable and the two outcome variables: experiencing condom breakage in the last 6 months and experiencing condom slippage in the last 6 months. Then two logistic regression models, one for experience of any condom breaks in the last six months and one for experience of any condom slips in the last six months, were used to further determine these relationships.
Results The only significant relationship that was found was between negative perceptions of
condoms and condom slips (AOR=1.08 95% CI= [1.02, 1.14], p=0.01). History of STI’s, type of sex act, lubricant use, lubricant type, consistent condom use, and self-efficacy did not return any significant relationships with experience of condom breaks or slips in the last 6 months, although self-efficacy did approach a significant relationship with condom slips (p=.07).
Conclusions Since negative perceptions are correlated with condom failure, attitudes and perceptions of
condoms need to be addressed for greater efficacy. Further studies on self-efficacy and condom failure should be pursued to determine how strong the protective qualities of self-efficacy can be when it comes to effective use of
condoms and prevention of condom failure.

▼ Studies of condom use, as a major means of prevention of STDs including HIV/AIDS, continually demonstrate widespread awareness of the effectiveness of
condoms. However, this knowledge has little to no impact upon actual condom use. Surveys of sexual behavior have had limited usefulness in explaining why there is such a large discrepancy between knowledge and behavior in this arena. The purpose of this study was to look at relationship length, condom use and embarrassment and comfort while using a condom to get a better understanding of why some sexually active people are still deciding not to use
condoms and potentially passing on STDs. Two-hundred and twenty sexually active adults from Humboldt State University participated in this study. Participants completed an anonymous on-line survey composed of a two part Sexual Intercourse Summery, as well as the Attitudes Toward
Condoms Scale (Brown 1984), with its five subscales measuring; safety, comfort, embarrassment, sexual arousal/excitement, and interruption of sexual activity.
This study found that people in short-term relationships reported using
condoms more than people in medium and long-term relationships. Scores indicated that males in short term-relationships show less embarrassment than males in long-term relationships. Males also reported more negative overall attitudes toward
condoms and higher levels of embarrassment towards
condoms than females. Participants who used
condoms had more of an overall favorable attitude toward
condoms than those who did not use
condoms. Also, participants who reported using
condoms were on average, younger than participants who reported not using
condoms.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this thesis is to identity whether condoms are being stigmatized, and to investigate the current perceptions, attitudes and beliefs about condom use in relation to the HIV and AIDS epidemic. Through the use of Richard Osmer’s model for research in Practical Theology, the study starts off with a Descriptive-Empirical task to investigate what is going on regarding the impact of society’s perceptions on condom use. The second part of the study commences the Interpretive task investigating why the perceptions about condoms exist, exploring the impact and dynamics of stigmatization; looking at sex, sexuality, sin and taboos relative to stigmatization. The Normative task explores what ought to be the perceptions of condom use by using Louw’s (2008) theory, an integrative Christian spiritual approach to Sexual Ethics, to explore the sacred space of sexuality, evaluating human sexuality and the human body, also looking at marriage and sexuality. Lastly, the Pragmatic task looks at the possible ways that we might respond to stigmatization, recommending certain practical conclusions within a pastoral counselling view to move towards de-stigmatization. These approaches include discussion on relevant HIV education and awareness programmes, pastoral care and counselling methods and programmes for people living with HIV and AIDS, and a pastoral approach with a Jesus as model for pastoral counselling. These collectively and conclusively explain the paradigm shift of letting the theology of the resurrection state a theological critique on stigmatization. In conclusion, the thesis argues that people do hold stigmatized perceptions about condoms and HIV and AIDS and these perceptions are grounded in attitudes and beliefs that are products of cultural and religious societal processes. The study proved that educational interventions need to be adapted to be more contextually relevant in order to be effective as a practical approach to stigmatization, as the study proved that having medical, educational knowledge about HIV and AIDS and prevention interventions do not necessarily result in saver sexual practice. Ultimately, pastoral approaches should be implemented in the hope to offer a movement towards destigmatization, not only of condoms, but HIV and AIDS and people living with HIV and AIDS. Thus, the proposal for a pastoral spiritual approach in process of destigmatization based upon a theological model. In this regard, the theological model is based on the notion of the theologia resurrectionis.

▼ research was conducted to establish the barriers associated with condom utilization among mobile police officers in Sondela paramilitary camp in Kafue rural district. The study was prompted by the fact that Zambia police service had scanty information on officers’ condom utilization and since there had been STIs, pregnancies and also failure to achieve 100% use of condoms among mobile police officers in Sondela, a need arose to establish factors that could have led to this situation.
The sample size was determined to be 240 respondents. We used simple random sampling method to select respondents. A research design was cross sectional and data was collected using a self administered questionnaire. The study was approved by the UNZA graduate forum, and cleared by UNZA Research Ethics Committee and Police high command. Consistency condom use was estimated at 32.5%. Multivariate analysis revealed that predictors of consistency condom use were: age, low level of education, lack of adequate information and care giving about condoms and a belief that condoms promote promiscuity. Arising from these findings, Police command should conduct HIV/AIDS sensitization among mobile officers targeting age category of 25-34 years dispelling myths regarding condom use, provide in-service courses to mobile police officers and train service providers on consistency condom use for effective service delivery. Embrace male circumcision services for male police officers; introduce the condom wallet intervention where a police officer on operational duty is provided with a condom wallet filled with condoms. These suggestions will at a large scale increase the consistency use of condoms among mobile officers and benefit other police mobile camps in the Zambia.

▼ BACKGROUND
Globally about 34 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, and annually 2.5 million new infections and 1.7 million deaths related to AIDS occur. Zambia in particular is experiencing a generalized HIV/AIDS epidemic, with a national HIV prevalence rate of 14.3 percent among adults aged 15 to 49. The primary modes of HIV transmission are through heterosexual sex and mother-to-child transmission. In Zambia, as is the situation in other developing countries (sub-Sahara region), majority of Women in particular suffer a disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS. These have implications for the well being of women of reproductive age and the Use a condom strategy (ABCs) has served as the cornerstone of prevention efforts for the last quarter of a century. Thus, to date, the female condom is the only technology available that women can use as an alternative to the male condom. While many studies have been conducted on factors associated with female condom, country specific contexts of areas of concern still differ between places. Consequently, not much is known about factors associated with female condom use in our setting. The aim of the study was to determine factors associated with female condom use in Zambia.
METHODOLOGY
A cross sectional study design was conducted. Quantitative and Qualitative method were used in the study. Quantitative method used secondary dataset from the Zambia Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS) 2007, in these dataset 6214 sexually active women were interviewed, and to complement from the survey, three focus group discussions (comprising ten participate for group one (1), nine participate for group two (2) and ten participate for group three (3) was conducted at Ng’ombe Clinic of Lusaka Province. The Dataset for ZDHS 2007 was exported to Stata® Version 12 (Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas) (StataCorp, 2013) for analysis. Frequency tables were created for the underlying and proximate factors in order to show the distribution of the data. Bivariate analysis were performed in order to understand the relationships between the dependent variable (ever female condom use in the year preceding the survey) and the underlying and proximate determinants and cross tabulation were performed to show the knowledge and perceived accessibility of female condom use among women of
v
reproductive age. Crude odds ratios and adjusted odds ratios at 95% confidence intervals were calculated and level of significance was set at p=0.05 level. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was also done, in order to identify which factors were most strongly associated with ever female condom use. Multivariable analysis comprised of 4 models as follows: model 1, with underlying factors; model 2, with proximate factors; model 3 with both underlying and proximate factors and model 4 with those factors that were most strongly associated with ever female condom use (identified through stepwise backward regression). The selection of variables and the goodness of fit of the model were automatic when the stepwise…

▼ Background Health behaviors are increasingly being understood through the lens of attitudes and beliefs that contribute to them. Youth in Asia face a world very different from that of their parents, however there is a dearth of research on sexual and reproductive health issues among Asian youth. Understanding the ways in which attitudes and beliefs shape sexual behaviors is an important first step in designing appropriate programming that empowers Asian youth to live healthy lives. Methods Using data from unmarried youth surveyed in the Three Cities Study of Hanoi, Shanghai and Taipei, I conducted exploratory, confirmatory and multiple group factor analyses to develop and examine scales for gender role beliefs, sexual norms and condom attitudes. Through these analyses I proposed and confirmed the factor structure of each latent construct, tested the fit of the models, and evaluated the heterogeneity of each scale by city, sex, and city and sex groupings. I used
logistic regression analyses to examine the association of sexual norms and gender role beliefs with sexual experience on all unmarried youth. I performed multiple logistic regression modeling to examine the association between condom attitudes and condom use at first and last sex among all sexually experienced, unmarried youth. Results Exploratory analyses revealed a four item sexual norms scale, a three item gender role beliefs scale, and a four item condom attitudes scale, each showing acceptable reliability. Confirmatory analyses of both gender role beliefs and sexual norms showed acceptable fit, while sexual norms showed less than acceptable model fit. Multiple group analyses showed gender role beliefs to vary distinctly by city, sex, and city and sex grouping. Multiple group analyses showed that while condom attitudes appear to be invariant across sex, they vary by city and city and sex group. Sexual norms is a more powerful correlate of sexual activity than gender role
beliefs. The association between sexual norms and sexual experience is greater among young women than young men, and in less developed contexts compared to more developed contexts. Condom attitudes have no significant association with condom use at first sex for any of the six groups. Attitudes towards
condoms are a significant factor in condom use at last sex among young men in Taipei only. Condom use at first sex is the most salient factor in condom use at last sex, but this relationship varies by city and sex group. Conclusions This dissertation provides an in-depth and cross-cultural analysis of the respective influences of gender role beliefs, sexual norms and condom attitudes on sexual activity and condom use among youth in Hanoi, Shanghai and Taipei. While both gender and sexual norms are important factors in sexual activity, condom attitudes play less of a role in shaping condom use patterns. By highlighting the differences and commonalities in how knowledge, attitudes and
beliefs and the relationship of each to sexual behaviors differ among male and female youth in three…

▼ Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of condoms as an alternative to commercially available ultrasound probe covers for the maintenance of sterility during ultrasound-guided medical procedures. We hypothesised that condoms are sterile in their packaging and are effective barriers to bacterial translocation during sterile procedures.
Methods
Phase 1 examined whether condoms are sterile in their packaging. Ten condoms were removed from their packaging under sterile conditions and placed into nutrient broth. After 24 hours of incubation, they were checked for turbidity as a measure of contamination.
The second phase of the study examined the ability of condoms to prevent translocation of bacteria from heavily contaminated probe head models to growth media. The experimental model was designed to simulate clinical conditions. Rectangular glass coplin jars were dipped into KY jelly inoculated with Klebsiella and Staphylococcus. Condoms were subsequently placed over the ends of the jars. After a brief exposure period, the condoms were removed carefully and the uncontaminated tips dipped individually into different 20ml containers of nutrient broth. The containers were then incubated for 24 hours, after which they were examined for turbidity as an indicator of bacterial translocation. The experiment was conducted using sterile precautions akin to procedures performed in operating theatres.
Results
In the first phase, one of the ten condoms (10%; 95% confidence intervals 0.3% - 45%) showed bacterial growth.
In the second phase, 18 of the 30 samples (60%; 95% confidence intervals 41% - 77%) showed bacterial growth.
Conclusion
The results of the study suggest that the use of condoms, as sterile ultrasound barriers, may not prevent translocation of bacteria in clinical practice. A number of factors may influence the effectiveness of condoms, such as the probe head size, bacterial load and manufacturing quality of the condom. Further studies are needed to compare condoms to commercially available probe covers.
Doel
Die doel van hierdie studie was om die gebruik van kondome as 'n alternatief vir kommersieel beskikbare ultraklank-sonde bedekkings vir die instandhouding van steriliteit tydens ultraklank-begeleide mediese prosedures te ondersoek. Ons hipotese is dat kondome steriel is in hul verpakking en dat kondome doeltreffende hindernisse is tot bakteriële translokasie tydens steriele prosedures.
Metodes
Fase een ondersoek of kondome steriel is in hul verpakking. Tien kondome is uit hul verpakking onder steriele omstandighede verwyder en in voedingskultuur geplaas. Na 24 uur van inkubasie, is hulle nagegaan vir troebelheid as 'n maatstaf van kontaminasie.
Die tweede fase van die studie ondersoek die vermoë van kondome om translokasie van bakterieë te verhoed vanaf swaar besmette ulraklank-sonde modelle. Die eksperimentele model is ontwerp om kliniese toestande na te boots. Vierkantige glas coplin flesse is gedoop in KY jellie ingeënt met Klebsiella en Staphylococcus. Kondome is daarna oor…

▼ Alarming S.T.I’s percentages and low condom use motivated this research. Healthcare professional’s risk-behavior and attitudes towards risk-behavior were reviewed. Three hypotheses, aimed to test whether healthcare professionals working with S.T.I’s should have a different attitude, knowledge and behavior to condom use compared to healthcare professionals that did not work with S.T.I’s. Ninety-five participants working at a hospital in middle-Sweden answered a questionnaire, based on the Swedish UNGKAB09 research. Mann-Whitney analyses showed no significant difference between the two groups on knowledge, attitude and behavior. A high percentage of steady relationships, high homogeneity between groups as well the same attitudes and intentions could have been a reliability problem. The collected data was however interesting as a base for further research

▼ Despite many years of promotion of safe sex practices, men who have sex with men continue to be vastly over-represented in new HIV diagnoses and infection rates continue (Sullivan et al., 2009). This has been attributed to a reduction in condom use associated with the reduced disease burden and reduced infectivity resulting from antiretroviral therapy uptake. Theories of health behaviour may assist in understanding the processes involved in condom use among MSM. The aims of this study are to test the utility of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB; Ajzen, 1991) in explaining condom use among MSM, and the utility of an implementation intentions intervention in increasing condom use. These aims were achieved through the following phases; demonstration of the utility of the TPB as a predictive model of condom use among MSM based on a meta-analytic review of the literature; the conduct of a cross-sectional online study to assess the TPB construct associations when assessing condom preparatory, and use behaviours among MSM; and the conduct of an implementation intentions intervention which was assessed over a three month period. The meta-analysis revealed moderate to strong effect sizes between all purported TPB construct relationships, indicating that it is an appropriate model. The cross sectional study (N=81) found that the TPB was able to explain a intention and behaviour for a number of condom behaviours, in particular condom use, but was subject to low power. The intervention study (N=28) was also underpowered, and interaction effects of time and condition on condom use and main effects of time and condition on condom use were non-significant. The findings of all three studies are discussed in terms of implications for research and theory, and in particular, the need for further predictive and experimental TPB studies among MSM.

▼ O preservativo à um mÃtodo de anticoncepÃÃo de barreira que proporciona dupla proteÃÃo, seu uso irregular entre adolescentes e adultos jovens vem sendo amplamente discutido na literatura. A autoeficÃcia relacionada ao uso desse mÃtodo à fundamental para a adoÃÃo de comportamento sexual seguro. Objetivou-se traduzir e adaptar a Condom Self-Efficacy Scale para lÃngua portuguesa no contexto brasileiro e avaliar a validade e a confiabilidade da Condom Self-Efficacy Scale orginada nos Estados Unidos para mensurar a autoeficÃcia no uso do preservativo. Trata-se de estudo metodolÃgico, iniciado apÃs o consentimento da autora da Condom Self-Efficacy Scale, que compreendeu duas etapas: traduÃÃo e adaptaÃÃo transcultural e verificaÃÃo das propriedades psicomÃtricas. O processo de traduÃÃo e adaptaÃÃo transcultural foi composto por quatro tradutores, um mediador da sÃntese e cinco profissionais que compuseram o comità de juÃzes. A validaÃÃo de conteÃdo foi verificada pelo Ãndice de ValidaÃÃo de ConteÃdo por meio do julgamento de 22 especialistas, que sugeriram alteraÃÃes e o instrumento foi reavaliado. ApÃs a apreciaÃÃo do instrumento pelos especialistas, obteve-se um Ãndice de ValidaÃÃo de ConteÃdo de 0,90 e os valores individuais dos itens variaram de 0,81 a 1, considerando o conteÃdo da escala vÃlido. Na validaÃÃo do constructo a amostra foi composta por 209 estudantes regularmente matriculados em uma escola da rede estadual de ensino do CearÃ. A coleta de dados ocorreu durante o mÃs de novembro de 2014, utilizando-se um questionÃrio abordando dados sociodemogrÃficos e sexuais, alÃm da Condom Self-Efficacy Scale instrumento de autoaplicaÃÃo na versÃo brasileira. A validade de constructo foi realizada por meio da anÃlise fatorial, utilizando a anÃlise dos componentes principais com rotaÃÃo varimax. ApÃs a anÃlise fatorial a escala ficou composta por 14 itens divididos em trÃs domÃnios, semelhante à versÃo original da escala, necessitando apenas realocar dois itens. A confiabilidade da escala foi verificada por meio do alfa de Cronbach que variou de 0,638 a 0,788, obtendo o valor total de 0,856, que denota alta consistÃncia interna. Obteve-se uma mÃdia da escala total de 68,1 pontos, e houve relaÃÃo estatÃstica significativa entre a escala total e as variÃveis nÃo ter filhos (p= 0,038), uso do preservativo (p= 0,008) e uso do preservativo com o parceiro fixo (p=0,036). Conclui-se que a versÃo brasileira da Condom Self-Efficacy Scale à um instrumento vÃlido e confiÃvel para verificar a autoeficÃcia do uso do preservativo entre adolescentes e adultos jovens. Sua utilizaÃÃo na versÃo brasileira poderà ser utilizada na prÃtica de enfermagem, bem como em outros estudos para avaliar intervenÃÃes que melhorem a autoeficÃcia de adolescentes e adultos jovens para utilizaÃÃo do preservativo.

▼ The main objective of the study was to examine gender-specific and shared spatial variation in HIV testing and condom use in Namibia for targeted health promotion interventions. The study used data from the Namibia Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) carried out between 2006 and 2007. Bayesian hierarchical spatial mapping techniques were applied to generate specific and shared spatial patterns in HIV testing and condom use. Particularly, a number of Bayesian Structured Additive Regression (STAR) models were fitted and followed by joint spatial models through the shared component latent variables approach. Firstly, we modelled HIV testing and condom use in males and females with fixed effects such as educational level, frequency of reading newspapers and magazines, frequency of listening the radio, frequency of watching television, wealth index, times away from home, smoking, alcohol consumption, employment status, age at first sexual intercourse, type of residence and marital status whereas spatial references to the communities were modelled as structured and unstructured spatial effects. Secondly, diffuse priors were assumed for the fixed effects, while conditional autoregressive priors were assigned to the structured spatial effects and exchangeable priors for the unstructured random effects. Simulation techniques through Markov Chain Monte Carlo were applied for model estimation. Common and divergent patterns of HIV testing and condom use emerged. Common areas among men and women on HIV testing and condom use were observed in Khomas, Erongo, Oshikoto, and Oshana, while divergent patterns were estimated in Caprivi, Kavango and Karas regions. Urban influence was also captured in the model. Exposure to media was one of the covariates that were found to have a positive effect on the use of condoms and HIV testing. The study underscore the usefulness of Bayesian hierarchical mapping model in highlighting areas lagging behind in the uptake of HIV testing and condom use with emphasis on differences between men and women in the same area. We found that compared with gender-specific modeling approach, the shared component model offered useful additional information when modeling HIV testing and condom use in men and women. The information will be valuable for guiding public health actions that are targeted at the overall reduction of risk-sexual behaviours through HIV testing and the use of condoms.

A amostra foi composta por 974 adolescentes com idades entre 18 e 19 anos, entrevistados durante a inspeção de saúde do alistamento militar, em julho de 2010. Destes jovens, 84% mantinham relações sexuais e a média de idade de início foi 14,8 anos. Mais de um quarto iniciou atividade sexual antes dos 15 anos de idade. O início precoce foi mais freqüente entre jovens das classes D ou E, com menor escolaridade e cujas mães também tinham menor nível educacional. O uso consistente e adequado de contraceptivos foi observado em 31,7% dos jovens. Este uso foi menos freqüente entre jovens em relacionamentos estáveis (RP 0,75 IC 0,58 a 0,97 p= 0,031), mesmo após ajuste para escolaridade
This study evaluated sexual behavior and contraceptive usage among male adolescents in Pelotas, Sothern Brazil. 974 youngsters age 18-19 years were interviewed during medical inspection of military enlistment in July 2010. 84% were sexually active and the average age of beginning of sexual activity was 14,8 years. More than one fourth of them had begun sexual activity before the age of fifteen, and early poorer families, with lower schooling level and whose mothers had also lower level of formal education. Consistent and adequate usage of contraceptives was observed in 31,7% of the adolescents. This use was less frequent among adolescents who maintained stable relationships (RP 0,75 IC 0,58 to 0,97 p= 0,031), even after adjustment for education level.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: HIV/AIDS knowledge is an important component of HIV/AIDS risk prevention strategies that may influence engagement in high risk behaviour. This qualitative study examines HIV/AIDS knowledge and factors that inhibit female young adults between ages 25-29 years old from negotiating condom usage with their sexual partners. A representative sample of 12 unemployed female young adults lived in Parkgate KwaZulu Natal, South Africa were used for this study. The main problem was that the HIV/AIDS rate was reported to be high amongst the age group of 25 to 29 years, especially in women as opposed to men.
There are lot of government‟s, NGOs and private sector interventions designed for the public using different modes of communication but the statistics show that these interventions somehow do not reach all intended audiences. For whatever reason people are still failing to use condoms. There is still lot of work that needs to be done in ensuring that awareness interventions reach all communities irrespective of their life status.
Data was analysed by identifying different categories and themes and coded. This study found out that most of the participants had inadequate knowledge about HIV/AIDS, how one can be infected and on how they can prevent themselves. The perceived risk of infection was high amongst many participants but there also lot of myths and disbelief about the existence. This study also found out that unemployment and fear to be beaten and dumped had lot to do with women failing to negotiate condom usage. Lack of communication skills among women due to cultural beliefs also has lot to do with the problem.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kennis van MIV/Vigs is baie belangrik ten einde doeltreffende stategieë te voorkoming van die pandemie daar te stel. Hierdie kwalitatiewe studie ondersoek die kennisvlakke van jong vroulike volwassenes in die ouderdomsgroep 25 – 29 jaar en ondersoek meer spesifiek die redes waarom die jong dames dit moeilik vind om hulle vriende te oortuig om „n kondoom voor seksuele omgang te gebruik.
„n Steekproef van 12 werklose jong dames van die die Parkgate area in Kwazulu Natal is gebruik.
Die studie het duidelik aangetoon dat die dames onvoldoende kennis van die pandemie het en dat hulle, hulself daarom onnodig blootstel aan infeksie. Die feit dat die dames werkloos is en „n gebrek aan behoorlike kommunikasievaardighede het verder tot die probleem bygedra. Daar is ook gevind dat daar verskeie gelowe en mites bestaan wat hierdie gedrag verder ondersteun.
Voorstelle ter verbetering van die situasie word in die studie gedoen.

▼ Condoms are widely accepted as a contraceptive for family
planning and population control. It is also accepted as the most
effective barrier against sexually transmitted diseases,
especially AIDS, the incurable disease. But presence of pinholes
and low film strength of condoms make it unsuitable for the
purpose. Quality improvement of condoms by reducing the pinhole
formation and increasing the film strength is thus an essential
requirement for population control as well as for preventing the
spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Strict implementation
of WHO specification of condoms further increases the rejection
percentage. This causes higher rejection loss to condom
manufacturers because the defects could be identified only at
the final stage of processing. If the influence of various
factors which cause these defects is known, manufacturers can
take remedial measures to reduce the defectives so that
rejection loss can be decreased and quality of condoms
increased. In the present study, it was proposed to conduct experiments to improve the quality of condoms by reducing the pinhole rejection percentage and increasing the tensile properties, burst volume, and burst pressure. Ageing property improvement also was an important target among other parameters. Until a cure for AIDS is found, a high quality latex condom is the only effective device in the prevention of the spread of HIV, AIDS and STD's. Hence it is all the more necessary to have high quality condoms.

▼ Background - Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) provides protection against HIV transmission but not against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which disproportionally affect men who have sex with men (MSM).This dissertation examines the association of PrEP initiation with subsequent patterns of condom use and STIs in MSM. A cohort of 525 MSM, 18 years and older, who self-identified as either high or low risk for HIV acquisition was followed for 13 months after initiating PrEP at a sexual health clinic in San Francisco. Dissertation Aims - 1) review the literature to examine if PrEP is associated with changes in risk behavior in MSM; 2) determine the reasons why MSM who self-identify as low risk for HIV request PrEP; and 3) determine how PrEP use affects condom use and STIs rates in MSM who self-identify as high risk for HIV.Methods – A systematic literature review was completed. The cohort was followed over 13 months subsequent to initiating PrEP. Questionnaires were used to examine condom use and biological assays were used to measure the frequency and type of STIs. Frequencies and descriptive analyses were completed, and multilevel logistic regression modeling was used to predict associations of condom use and STIs before and after initiation of PrEP. Framework analysis was used to identify themes and to develop a descriptive understanding of why low-risk MSM initiated and remained on PrEP. Findings - No conclusive evidence was found that PrEP use leads to increased sexual risk behaviors. Overall, condom use decrease peaked at ~ 6 months and returned to baseline rates at ~12 months. Disparities in condom use and STI rates were observed within sub-populations of MSM, and condom use was found to be influenced by perceived risk. In both the low- and high-risk cohorts, anal GC/CT and syphilis decreased and pharyngeal GC/CT either remained constant or increased. MSM do not use PrEP solely to replace condoms, rather PrEP provides, peace of mind, sexual pleasure and safety and security.Conclusion - In order to improve sexual health for MSM PrEP, STI screening and condom use education should be tailored to meet differing needs of sub populations. Sexual health discussion should include education on substance use, transmission of pharyngeal GC/CT and how MSM perceive sexual risk. Further research is needed to assess when more intensive counselling regarding condom use would be beneficial, how MSM perceive sexual risk and ways to reduce pharyngeal infections.

▼ Objectives: A growing number of HIV-positive women now live well beyond menopause. There is little information about condom use in postmenopausal women in sub-Saharan Africa. Postmenopausal women are no longer at risk for pregnancy, and some studies suggest that they may choose to use
condoms less often than premenopausal women. Our hypothesis was that unprotected sex, defined by the presence of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in vaginal secretions, would be more common at postmenopausal visits compared to premenopausal visits. Design: Prospective cohort study of HIV-positive women >16 years old, who reported trading sex for cash or in-kind payment in Mombasa, Kenya. Methods: At enrollment and monthly follow-up visits, participants completed a standardized interview. A speculum-assisted pelvic examination with collection of genital samples was performed at enrollment and quarterly visits. Menopause was assessed using a clinical decision tool. The primary outcome of unprotected sex was determined by the presence of PSA in vaginal secretions. Results: We followed 403 HIV-positive women who contributed 2753 quarterly examination visits. Detection of PSA was less frequent at postmenopausal visits compared to premenopausal visits (55/540,10.2% versus 397/2210, 18.0%; relative risk [RR] 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.38-0.86). Adjusting for age diminished the association between menopause and detection of PSA (adjusted RR 0.70, 95%CI 0.45-1.11). Women were more likely to report no sex in the past week at postmenopausal visits compared to premenopausal visits (RR 1.67, 95%CI 1.44-1.95). When sexually active, women reported the same rate of condom use at postmenopausal and premenopausal visits (RR 0.97, 95%CI 0.84-1.12). Conclusions: Postmenopausal status was associated with a lower risk of unprotected sex compared to being premenopausal in this population of high-risk HIV-positive Kenyan women. The relationship between menopause and unprotected sex is likely to be contextual and may differ with varying risk groups, regions, and levels of exposure to sexual health education.

▼ Background: The HIV / AIDS pandemic have been characterized as the greatest natural challenge ever to confront humanity and one of the great moral causes of our time (World Bank, 2007). Although, the HIV and AIDS pandemic is a global problem, some regions of the world, notably sub-Saharan Africa are hardly hit by the pandemic. Namibia is one of the sub-Saharan African countries which are badly affected by the HIV and AIDS pandemic. It is estimated that about 360 000 Namibians were infected with HIV by 2010. This translates to a national HIV prevalence of (18.8%). The National HIV and AIDS Response Department has designed various interventions and strategies to curb the spread of the HIV. Promotion of male
condoms promotion is one of the key strategies being advocated. If used consistently and correctly, male
condoms are regarded as an effective preventive tool of HIV transmission. However, changing individual’s sexual behaviors and lifestyle to make condom use part of their sexual life seems to be the challenge. In Namibia most of the research in the area of HIV and AIDS were done among the youth and population aged between 15 – 49 years. Hence, this study looks at older men as a neglected population. Aim: The aim of the current study was to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices of condom use among male employees age 50 (fifty) years and older at a mining company in Southern Namibia. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey utilizing quantitative research approach was applied. Data was collected through face-to-face interviewing male employees, age fifty years and older, while at work at the Mine Area 1 (MA1). Data was captured in excel and imported into SPSS version 16.0. Chi-square test was used to determine the association between KAP variables and the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. The level of statistical significance was set at 0.05. Results: Among 105 respondents (males, mean age 54.5 years), more than half lived in the singe sex male hostels. Knowledge about condom use was good but there remained a significant number of the respondents whose knowledge was insufficient. A high percentage of the respondents suggested that HIV positive individuals should always use condom every time they have sexual intercourse. Conclusion: This study showed that respondents are not at a high risk of contracting HIV infection due to lack of knowledge on condom use though some of them possessed insufficient knowledge. Thus, to minimize the likelihood of HIV infection targeted interventions including peer education programmes were suggested, and working with the community in the area. Moreover, a more comprehensive knowledge attitude and practice study among mine employees from various sections of the mine would be beneficial to identify the level of risk within the total employee population.

▼ Men and women have historically been held to different standards regarding sexual behavior, known as the sexual double standard. Women have typically been judged more harshly than men for engaging in similar sexual behavior. Both genders report higher levels of sexual activity and more liberal attitudes since the 1940s. Males historically report engaging in more sexual activity than females. However, current studies indicate both genders are engaging in similar levels of sexual activity, although men continue to report slightly higher levels. It is unclear whether attitudes and judgments related to gender and sexuality have kept pace with reported behavior changes. The documented increase in sexual activity for men and women has coincided with a dramatic increase in sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Consistent condom use during all forms of sexual activity has been recommended as the most reliable method of pregnancy and STD prevention. However, many individuals report inconsistent condom use. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the potential role the sexual double standard may play in the inconsistent use of
condoms in college women. Undergraduate students were asked to read one of three vignettes (male provides condom, female provides condom, no condom was used) in which a casual sexual encounter was described. After reading the vignette, participants completed adjective ratings of the vignette actors, as well as measures of attitudes toward gender and sexuality, sexual history, and demographics. Contrary to expectations, results indicated that females were judged to be more likeable when she provided the condom compared to when no condom was used and more diplomatic when she provided the condom when compared to when no condom was used or when the male provided the condom. Males were equally liked across all condom conditions, and were rated as more diplomatic when providing the condom versus when no condom was used. Unexpectedly, neither judgments of the vignette actors nor attitudes toward gender and sexuality were predictive of personal sexual history. These findings suggest that gender differences in sexual behavior may be quite small, and that standards for sexual behavior are more equal than has been previously documented.

▼ The purpose of this research program was to examine how attachment anxiety and rejection interact to influence intentions and attitudes toward having unprotected sexual intercourse. I hypothesized that women who were high in attachment anxiety would hold weaker intentions to use a condom and would have more negative attitudes toward condoms than would women who were low in attachment anxiety. Moreover, I predicted that these expected main effects of anxiety on intentions and attitudes would interact with rejection, such that the association between high anxiety and both weak intentions and negative attitudes would be exacerbated among women that were exposed to a rejection-salient condition. I explored the interaction of interest in the context of specific romantic partner rejection (Study One) as well as general social rejection from peers (Study Two). In Study One, I manipulated potential partner rejection and found that attachment anxiety and rejection condition interacted to influence intentions to engage in unprotected sex. In the rejection condition, attachment anxiety was marginally positively related to intentions whereas in the non-rejection condition, attachment anxiety was marginally negatively related to intentions. Upon further investigation of this same interaction, I found that among women who were high in attachment anxiety, rejection condition did not significantly impact intention ratings. However, among women who were low in attachment anxiety, those who were rejected reported significantly weaker intentions to engage in unprotected sex than those who were not rejected. Attitudes toward condoms were not influenced by the interaction between attachment anxiety and rejection condition. In Study Two, I manipulated general social rejection and found that the intentions results from Study One were not replicated, as general social rejection and attachment anxiety did not interact to influence intentions to engage in unprotected sex. Once again, attitudes toward condoms were not influenced by this interaction. Explanations for the findings of Study One and Study Two are explored and implications of both studies’ findings for the literature on condom use and for sexual health promotion are discussed.

▼ Background: HIV/AIDS is one of the world’s most serious health challenges. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the region most heavily affected by HIV, with 69% of the people living with HIV in the world. Côte d'Ivoire has a high HIV prevalence rate and Senegal a low prevalence rate. The main research question is whether or not the HIV risk behavior of Ivorian differs from the HIV risk behavior of Senegalese in terms of selected categorical and continuous variables. In other words, if using
condoms at last sexual intercourse differs between Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal.
Methods: Cross-sectional data from the Measure Demographic and Health Survey (MDHS) involving 9,686 Ivorian and 18,363 Senegalese from 2005 were used. The Pearson Chi-square test were performed to determine any significant relationship between the variables across the two countries with respect to socio-demographic and HIV risky behaviors status. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to test the significance of any association between the independent and the dependent variables (
Condoms used at last sexual intercourse). Throughout all the analysis performed, a p-value of 0.05 and confidence interval of 95% were used to determine any statistical significance.
Results: Logistic regression models showed that Côte d’Ivoire respondents had decrease odds of using
condoms during their last sexual intercourse (OR=0.7; 95% CI 0.62 - 0.79) as compared to Senegal and the difference was statistically significant at p < 0.05. In Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal, wealth and education have been consistently found to be positively associated with
condoms used at last sexual intercourse.
Conclusion: HIV risk behaviors seem to be associated with
condoms used and marital status. The results in our study suggest a possible relation with
condoms used, HIV prevalence and polygamy in Senegal, so men use
condoms less frequently with marital partners. More studies need to assess the role of polygamy in the transmission and/or acquisition of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Key words: HIV/AIDS, Risky behaviors,
Condoms used, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal

▼ High-risk sexual activity involved in prostitution is a criminal justice and public health issue heightened by the potential transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as a result of engaging in certain unprotected sex acts. This constitutes a significant health problem suitable for discourse on social policy. The work adds to the extant prostitution literature by providing an in-depth qualitative examination of female prostitutes resulting in the proposal of a new theoretical framework, the whore paradox. The theory provides explanatory insight into the sexual health decisions of prostitutes and has potential applications to other deviant and risk-taking populations. Policy implications include augmenting subsidized drug rehabilitation and harm reduction programs as well as establishing diversion options for prostitution charges that incorporate mandatory sex education programs. The dissertation is divided into five chapters covering a discussion of the problem, applicable theories, the methods used in data collection, findings, and discussion. Chapter One reviews the extant literature regarding sexually transmitted infections, protective behavior, and prostitution. Chapter Two introduces the applicable theoretical frameworks including Coleman’s Rational Choice Model, Deviance theories, and Patriarchal Bargains. Chapter Three provides an explanation of and rationale for the data collection methods employed. Chapter Four presents the findings thematically, using the narratives of the participants to tell the story. Finally, Chapter Five is a consideration of the findings as they relate to the generation of a new theory, the whore paradox, which aims to explain the sexual health decisions made by female sex workers within the context of a gendered society that labels their occupation as deviant.

▼ Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Many individuals, however, are misinformed about key aspects of the STI, negatively view the disease and those infected with it, and do not use preventive methods to protect themselves and others from transmission. For this study, I used in-person, semi-structured interviews to examine HPV knowledge among those with HPV and how this knowledge impacted individuals’ emotional state upon diagnosis. I also analyzed feelings of stigma among individuals with HPV and how these feelings and HPV knowledge impacted individuals’ motivations to disclose their status to others. I also examined status disclosure and sexual behavior among those with HPV and how HPV transmission knowledge impacted motivations and intentions to participate in prevention behaviors. I found that post-diagnosis many individuals were ill-informed about HPV transmission, dormancy, prevalence, clearance, impact on men, and association with cervical cancer. I also found that post-diagnosis many individuals were anxious and upset about their positive status and felt judged by some individuals in their lives. Confronting and internalizing this stigma impacted how and why they disclosed and withheld their positive HPV status. I also found that few individuals with HPV disclosed their status to all at-risk sex partners or used barrier methods consistently during sex. These findings suggest that practitioners’ messages and sexual education about HPV are inadequate. More work is needed to facilitate effective and empathetic patient-provider communication and HPV education that includes status disclosure and use of all barrier methods. These findings also suggest that the culture around HPV needs to change so that individuals with a positive status no longer undergo undue stress and can openly educate others about the STI.

▼ Despite the global figures on male HIV infection
rates, and the vulnerability of men to HIV as a result of social
constructions of masculinity, not enough attention has been paid to
the seriousness of the problem of HIV in heterosexual men. Most
research has concentrated on either homosexual or bisexual men,
neglecting the experiences of heterosexual men diagnosed as HIV
positive, and the implications thereof. This study aims to explore
the lived experiences (emotional, cognitive and social) of black
heterosexual males who are living with HIV. The focus of this study
was thus on the subjective experiences and circumstances of these
men, to enhance understanding of how they managed to adapt to the
stress of being HIV positive. Health professionals, such as nurses,
psychologists and doctors at Tshwane District Hospital, can use the
results of the study to assist men when they are diagnosed, and to
help them cope effectively with their subsequent challenges. The
study used the phenomenological theoretical framework. It explored
the lived experiences of being HIV positive through in-depth,
semi-structured interviews, which were audio-recorded and
transcribed . Non-probability sampling was used to identify the 5
participants in this study. Data was analysed in terms of thematic
analysis and 15 themes were derived from the analysis and described
using quotations from the raw data. These themes were then
contextualised and explored with relevant literature. The research
found that these men initially struggled to adapt to their
HIV-positive status and exhibited denial, fear and loss,
complicated by the sense that their masculinity was compromised.
While there was some evidence of limited internal and external
stigma, the men were able to find support from partners, family and
friends, and were able to rise to the challenge of 'living
positively'.

▼ Young women‘s sexual health is declining. Sorority women face an intersectionality of risk for the negative consequences of sexual activity because of college attendance, sex, and age. The influence of peer communication about condom use can provide a buffer to the risk these women face. I investigated this communication through focus groups, using the theory of communication privacy management and grounded theory to understand focus group findings.
The results revealed themes regarding characteristics of communicators and context of communication including communication topic and setting. The women use strategies, boundaries and rules to negotiate communication privacy and engage in comfortable communication. Additionally, the women seek to maintain a good reputation for their social group, and follow explicit and implicit rules to do so. The implication of this analysis includes improvements in sorority and college student sexual health programming and continued research on communication in social support organizations like sororities.

Dating Relationship and Condom Use in College Students: An Application of the Transtheoretical Model.

▼ Numerous researchers have documented that despite knowledge that
condoms can prevent the transmission of HIV during sexual activity, a majority of college students fail to consistently implement the safer-sex practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. In hopes of promoting safer sex practices, health professionals have sought to apply numerous theoretical frameworks to understand the factors that predict students’ condom use. One promising theory is the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of Behavior Change.
The primary purposes of the present study were to replicate Parsons et al.’s (2000) application of the TTM to sexual risk-taking and to examine whether the relationship context in which college students’ sexual activity took place was related to three sexual risk-taking variables examined by Parsons et al. (i.e., stage of change for condom use, consistency of condom use within the last 30 days, and condom use during the last sexual act). It was predicted that students in long-term, monogamous relationships would be less likely to use
condoms and less willing to consider introducing them into their current dating relationships than students in other types of relationships.
Through the use of self-report survey data collected from a sample of 232 students, the present study was able to successfully replicate Parsons et al.’s (2000) original multivariate findings. Although the current study found some support for the hypotheses related to Relationship Status, it was not a strong predictor of any of the sexual risk-taking variables examined. One major finding of the present study was that the majority of sexually active students were in monogamous, long-term relationships, even at young ages. The results from this study lend further support for the predictive value of TTM in terms of sexual risk taking and suggest that safer-sex interventions for college students may need to adapted to the changing dating patterns of college youth. Directions for future research are also discussed.
