MeSH headings : Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Attitude to Health; Condoms / statistics & numerical data; Cross-Sectional Studies; Female; HIV Infections / prevention & control; HIV Infections / psychology; HIV Infections / transmission; Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice; Heterosexuality / psychology; Homosexuality, Male / psychology; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Patient Education as Topic; Safe Sex / psychology; Self Efficacy; Sex Factors; Unsafe Sex / psychology; Young Adult
TL;DR:
HIV prevention programs should tailor materials to different subgroups, as greater self-efficacy predicted less UAVI-AR for MSM and women, whereas more positive condom attitudes—but not self- efficacy—predicted less U AVI- AR for heterosexual men.
