“…Interestingly, all of these risks occurred in the context of good AIDS knowledge and self-appraisals of being at considerable risk for HIV infection. Consistent with other populations (Tung, Lu, & Cook, 2010), these findings suggest that while important, providing knowledge about HIV/AIDS and increasing the population’s self-perception of HIV risk is not sufficient to reduce sexual risk behavior. Finally, partner refusal to use condoms was not associated with risk behavior in this sample.…”

HIV infection among young populations is increasing worldwide. Adolescents in mental health treatment have demonstrated higher rates of HIV risk behavior than their peers. This first risk behavior study of youth in psychiatric treatment in Brazil reports findings from a cross-sectional national sample of emerging adult psychiatric patients (18-25 years old). The prevalence of lifetime unprotected sex was 65.9%. Multiple logistic regression indicated that being married/in union; sex under the influence of alcohol/drugs; physical violence; earlier sexual debut; and depressive/substance use disorders were associated with unsafe sex. Interventions and services that address these risks during this critical developmental window are urgently needed.

“…Thirteen studies pointed to the role of social organization and social influence. For example, protective effects of religiosity were attributed to social support and connection that comes through participation and interaction in organized religious activities [35][36][37], fears of disclosing condemned activities [38], high social control [12], or living in an area with less exposure to alcohol and nightclubs [39].…”

This systematic review examines the relationship between religion and sexual HIV risk behavior. It focuses primarily on how studies have conceptualized and defined religion, methodologies, and sexual risk outcomes. We also describe regions where studies were conducted and mechanisms by which religion may be associated with sexual risk. We included 137 studies in this review, classifying them as measuring: (1) only religious affiliation (n = 57), (2) only religiosity (n = 48), and (3) both religious affiliation and religiosity (n = 32). A number of studies identified lower levels of sexual HIV risk among Muslims, although many of these examined HIV prevalence rather than specific behavioral risk outcomes. Most studies identified increased religiosity to be associated with lower levels of sexual HIV risk. This finding persists but is weaker when the outcome considered is condom use. The paper reviews ways in which religion may contribute to increase and reduction in sexual HIV risk, gaps in research, and implications for future research on religion and HIV.

“…Based on this theory, it has been suggested that people differ in their readiness to adopt condom usage (Wei-Chen Tung, Lu, & Cook, 2010). That is, condom usage behaviour can be divided into stages.…”

Thailand's booming tourism sector significantly contributes to the country's economy. Sex tourism is also popular in Thailand, where male sex workers are more at risk to HIV threats than their female counterparts. Social marketing campaigns have been useful in addressing several problematic behaviours, such as smoking, binge drinking, unprotected sex and unhealthy dietary practices. Hence, the main purpose of this research study is to propose a conceptual framework for promoting safe sex practices to male sex workers in Thailand. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) has been generally applied to help understand and examine behavioural change intentions, and develop behavioural change initiatives. TPB attempts to identify the psychological determinants of behavioural change intention in a single point of time. However, it does not show how behavioural change occurs as a process, or at various stages. As this theory is not adequate for understanding the entire process of behavioural change, a more comprehensive theoretical framework is required. Combining the Theory of Planned Behaviour with the Stages of Change Theory (SCT) provides a highly comprehensive theoretical framework. The Stages of Change Theory is used in the social marketing field to facilitate behavioural change. SCT shows the behaviour change as a process. The implications of this new framework for both theory and practice are discussed, as well as the directions for future research, which would be of use to researchers and practitioners in the social marketing field.
