HIV & Safer Sex: Self Efficacy<\/h1>\n

Safer sex is first defined for participants as any combination of the following behavioral strategies:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Abstinence<\/span> from vaginal and anal intercourse.<\/li>\n
  2. Condom Use<\/span> with all vaginal and anal sexual partners.<\/li>\n
  3. Sexually exclusive<\/span> relationship with only one partner<\/span> in the past year who hastested negative<\/span> for HIV antibodies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Participants are then instructed to rate their level of confidence in having safer sex and temptation to have unprotected sex on a five-point Likert scale (1 = Not at all confident\/tempted to 5 = very confident\/tempted) in the following situations.<\/p>\n

    Items used for the Confidence in Safer Sex (CSS) and
    \nTemptation for Unprotected Sex (TUS) scales ordered by subscale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
