“…Conversely, youth who exhibit low condom selfefficacy (and more negative attitudes about condoms) have been found to engage in riskier sexual behaviors (St. Lawrence, Brasfield, Jefferson, Allyene, & Shirley, 1994). Examples have also emerged among African American samples, where higher levels of condom or safe-sex self-efficacy predicted more consistent condom use (Burns & Dillon, 2005;Crosby et al, 2013).…”

Because much of the existing research examining sexual communication to African American youth focuses on demographic and parental factors predicting sexual risk behaviors, less is known about factors predicting sexual health, and little is understood about the contributions of peer communications. The current study aimed to expand existing approaches by assessing which socialization discourses communicated by parents and peers contribute to sexual risk and health outcomes (sexual assertiveness, positive sexual affect, and condom self-efficacy). Participants were 631 African American undergraduates (73% female) who indicated the extent to which they had received from their parents and peers each of 28 messages representing four cultural discourses: abstinence, relational sex, sex positive, and gendered sexual roles. As expected, parents were perceived to emphasize relational sex and abstinence messages more than peers, and peers were perceived to communicate sex-positive and gendered sex role messages more than parents. Greater exposure to abstinence messages predicted lower levels of sexual experimentation, whereas exposure to sex-positive messages predicted higher levels. In addition, exposure to relational sex and sex-positive messages predicted higher levels of sexual assertiveness and positive sexual affect. Implications are discussed concerning sexual communications that could help Black youth develop healthy sexual perspectives.

“…En este sentido, numerosos estudios como el de Winfi eld y Whaley (2002) han destacado la importancia que tienen para la prevención del SIDA las creencias relacionadas con los benefi cios y las barreras percibidas para el uso del condón, así como la autoefi cacia (Burns y Dillon, 2005) y las normas sociales percibidas (Scholly et al, 2005).…”

Resumen: En este estudio se analizan las actitudes y conductas sexuales de riesgo de los jóvenes españoles respecto a la infección por VIH. Se administró el Cuestionario de Prevención del SIDA a 196 jóvenes. Los resultados muestran lagunas importantes en la información (sólo el 59% sabe que el sexo oral sin preservativo es una práctica de riesgo); el uso sistemático del preservativo es moderado en el coito (indican haberlo utilizado en el 53% de las relaciones del mes anterior); y muy bajo en las relaciones orales (3%) y anales (13%), mantenidas por un elevado número de sujetos (el 73% realizan prácticas orales y el 16% anales). Hay una baja percepción de peligro lo que se manifi esta en que sólo el 14% preguntan a sus parejas si se han realizado las pruebas del VIH y tan sólo el 40% se las ha realizado alguna vez. Urgen intervenciones preventivas en este colectivo. Palabras clave: Infección por VIH, conductas de riesgo, jóvenes Attitudes and risk sexual behaviors for HIV infection/AIDS in young people in SpainAbstract: This study analyzes attitudes and sexual risk behaviors of young people in Spain with regard to HIV infection. The AIDS Prevention Questionnaire was administered to 196 subjects. The results evidence important gaps in information (only 59% knows that oral sex without a condom is a risk behaviour); the systematic use of a condom is moderate in intercourse (in 53% of sexual intercourse over the past month) and very low in oral (3%) and anal (13%) sex, as practiced by a large number of subjects (73% do oral sex and 16% anal sex). There is a low sense of danger as manifested by the fact that only 14% ask their sexual partners if they did any HIV testing and only 40% have passed a HIV test at any time. Preventive interventions are urgently needed in this population.

“…La mayor parte de las investigaciones revisadas identifican la existencia de diferencias de género en la autoeficacia relacionada con el uso del preservativo. Sin embargo, mientras algunas encuentran puntuaciones más elevadas en las mujeres (Burns y Dillon, 2005;Parsons, Halkitis, Bimbi y Borkowski, 2000), otras lo hacen en los hombres (Farmer y Meston, 2006;Lindemann y Brigham, 2003). En el contexto sexual, la desigualdad en los roles de género emerge como factor relevante cuando consideramos la autoeficacia en el uso del preservativo.…”

Autoeficacia en la prevención sexual del Sida: la influencia del género

et al. 2013

Resumen: La literatura científica apunta a que la escasa autoeficacia para el uso del preservativo explicaría muchas conductas de riesgo de transmisión del VIH en jóvenes. Se analiza la autoeficacia de los jóvenes en el uso del preservativo, la existencia de diferencias de género y la relación con variables relevantes en la prevención. Se aplicó la "Subescala de Autoeficacia en el Uso del Preservativo", incluida en el Cuestionario de Prevención del Sida (Ballester, Gil y Giménez, 2007), a 3540 universitarios (50.9% mujeres, 49.1% hombres). Los resultados indican que los jóvenes obtienen puntuaciones medias-altas en autoeficacia, mostrándose la menor puntuación en el autocontrol en el momento de excitación. Se obtienen diferencias estadísti-camente significativas en distintas situaciones según el género, siendo las mujeres las que se perciben más autoeficaces que los hombres, sobre todo en situaciones relacionadas con una posible evaluación negativa por parte de la pareja al sugerir su uso; y menos que ellos en aquellas referidas al ámbito público (comprar preservativos). Además, la autoeficacia correlacionó significativamente con la intención de conducta preventiva, la mayor frecuencia autoinformada de uso del preservativo y la percepción de eficacia del preservativo en la prevención del VIH. Las futuras intervenciones preventivas deberían incluir un componente de autoeficacia y una perspectiva de género.

Abstract: The scientific literature suggests that a low self-efficacy for condom use may be related to many risky behaviors for HIV transmission in young people. We analyze the self-efficacy of condom use among youth, the existence of gender differences and the relationship with other relevant variables in HIV prevention. The "Self-Efficacy Condom Use Subscale", included in the AIDS Prevention Questionnaire (Ballester, Gil and Giménez, 2007), was administrated to 3540 university students (50.9% women, 49.1% men). The results showed that the sample obtained medium-high scores on self-efficacy, showing the lowest scores when behavior involves their sexual control at the time of excitation. Statistically significant differences were obtained in different situations according to gender. In this regard, women perceived themselves higher condom use selfefficacy than men, especially when their suggestion about condom use might cause a negative evaluation to the partner; and unless than men those relating to public domain (buying condoms). Moreover, self-efficacy correlated significantly with preventive behavior intention, increased selfreported frequency of condom use and perceived effectiveness of condoms in HIV prevention. Future preventive interventions should include an element of self-efficacy and a differentiated perspective by gender. Keywords: Self-efficacy; Condom use; Young; Gender; AIDS prevention.
