Understanding HIV and STI Prevention for College Students
Author: Leo Wilton
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134656556
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, young people aged 18 to 25 are at a significant risk for acquiring and transmitting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and other STIs (sexually transmitted infections). Primary developmental processes that place college students particularly at risk include the experience of intimacy, sexual desires and the centrality of the peer group. During these routine developmental processes, college students experiment with unprotected sex, multiple sex partners and alcohol and illicit drugs, all of which are contributing risk factors for HIV/STI infections. Early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of HIV and other STIs is germane to promoting the sexual health of college students and reducing high HIV/STI infection rates among young people. This edited volume will provide innovative and cutting-edge approaches to prevention for college students and will have a major impact on advancing the interdisciplinary fields of higher education and public health. It will explore core ideas such as hooking up culture, sexual violence, LGBT and students of color, as well as HIV and STI prevention in community colleges, rural colleges and minority serving institutions.

The Impact of Knowledge and Attitudes Towards HIV and Sexual Behavior in a College Population
Author: Stephen E. Doyle (M.S.N.)
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : AIDS (Disease)
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
In order to test for factors predicting AIDS-preventive safe sexual behavior, a battery comprising a demographic questionnaire, an AIDS Self-Efficacy questionnaire, a Sexual Behavior Index, and an AIDS Awareness Survey were administered to 118 undergraduate students (ages 19-28, 93% African American) at a predominantly African American state-supported university in the southeastern US. Possible predictors tested were gender, self-efficacy, perceived self-efficacy while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, knowledge about HIV/AIDS, and source of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Under multiple linear regression, there were statistically significant correlations between each of these predictor variables and safe sexual behavior. Under a full model regression, self-efficacy was the only significant factor to predict safe sex practices. The study supported the effectiveness of the university's system of programs to provide HIV information to students. Implications for nursing are discussed.

Perceptions of African American Women with HIV/AIDS: The Influence of Knowledge and Attitudes
Author: Tamara N. Godfrey
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780549072683
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
HIV-related stigma incorporates stigmas associated with the illness as well as stigmas associated with groups that have been linked with HIV including gay and bisexual men, sex workers, and intravenous drug users. HIV-related stigma has led to the isolation of many groups based on their association with HIV/AIDS. It has been suggested that mode of transmission, knowledge of HIV, interaction with HIV positive individuals, and attitudes towards HIV influence perceptions of those infected.
