With the low reliability coefficients for the IAQ-C subscales of attitude, personal risk, and facts in the current study as well as the previous study (Davis, Tang, et al, 1999), it is possible that some of the items in the IAQ-C are problematic or unreliable.…”

Also, the reason for low reliability may have been that there were only three items in each of the personal risk and facts subscales.…”

“…The IAQ-C (Davis, Tang, Noel, & Chan, 1999) was used to measure HIV-related knowledge and attitudes among college students in Taiwan. The 18-item IAQ-C assessed four dimensions of HIV and AIDS: transmission myths, facts, attitudes, and personal risk.…”

HIV infection rates in Taiwan have been growing at nearly 15% per year since 1997, one of the fastest rates in Asia. Little is known about the knowledge, attitudes, and sexual behaviors of college-age young adults in Taiwan. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, sources of HIV information, and behaviors related to HIV among college students; it also explored variables associated with the knowledge and attitudes about HIV among college students in Taiwan. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire from 132 Taiwanese college students enrolled in two private universities. Study results showed that fewer than half (48.5%) of the participants were aware that HIV could be spread through infected semen, and, nearly a quarter of participants believed that HIV could be contracted through mosquito bites, toilet seats, or swimming pools. Only 29.5% reported ever having had sex. This research provides additional insights that may be used to develop effective HIV prevention strategies in Taiwan.

“…Participants' knowledge about the transmission route, facts, and vulnerability of specific groups was assessed by five items adopted from the International AIDS questionnaireChinese version (Davis et al 1999). Two items specific to the present study were added, and were "If a woman's husband is HIV positive and does not use condom during sexual activities, this woman will be easily infected with HIV," and "Housewives/women with one male sexual partner can also be infected with AIDS/HIV."…”

Two-hundred-and-thirty-one Chinese women were individually interviewed on their HIV-prevention behavior and gender-related psychosocial factors. Compared to women with intact marriages, women with marital disruption endorsed more inaccurate information about HIV/AIDS, had less worry about contracting HIV from their husbands, and were less likely to use condoms in current and future sexual activities. Among sexually active Chinese married women, rates of condom use in the past 6 months were 60% for the intact group and 38% for the disrupted group. Factors that discriminated between condom non-users and users among sexually active women in the disrupted group included: conservative gender attitudes toward sexuality and sexual decision-making, negative attitudes toward condom use, and lack of concern about contracting HIV from their husbands.

RESUMENEl creciente conocimiento sobre la prevención de la infección por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIHsida) no ha cambiado sustancialmente las actitudes frente al VIH-sida. Se diseñó el cuestionario VIH/SIDA-65 para cuantificar conocimiento y actitudes frente a la infección. Recientemente no se ha revisado el desempeño psicométrico de este instrumento. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el desempeño de las dimensiones que cuantifican actitudes frente a VIH-sida. Se diseñó un estudio de validación en el que participaron 190 estudiantes de psicología de dos escuelas colombianas. Las edades se observaron entre 18 y 30 años, media=21,7 (DE=3,1); 72,1% mujeres y 27,9% hombres. Los estudiantes completaron los 25 ítems de las dimensiones de actitudes del VIH-SIDA-65 (actitudes positivas, actitudes negativas, actitud frente al preservativo, susceptibilidad y auto-eficacia). El desempeño psicométrico se evaluó mediante análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y confirmatorio (AFC), análisis paralelo (ANP), y consistencia interna. El AFE, AFC y ANP mostraron una deficiente dimensionalidad. La consistencia interna fue muy baja (Cronbach y McDonald<0,70) para actitudes negativas, actitud frente al preservativo y susceptibilidad y excesivamente alta (Cronbach y McDonald>0,95) para actitudes positivas y autoeficacia. Se concluye que en estudiantes de psicología las dimensiones de actitudes del VIH-SIDA-65 se desempeñan inadecuadamente.
