  • Title: Knowledge of AIDS and self-efficacy to high-risk sexual practices among Lebanese males in New York.
    Author: Awad KZ.
    Journal: East Mediterr Health J; 2002 Nov; 8(6):732-48. PubMed ID: 15568450.
    Abstract:
    The relationship of AIDS knowledge and self-efficacy to high-risk sexual practices among Lebanese males in NewYork was examined. Self-administered questionnaires were completed by a convenience sample. Relationships between AIDS-knowledge and self-efficacy and high-risk sexual practices for the 25 homosexual men were rarely significant, probably because of the small sample. The 261 heterosexual participants had statistically significant relationships between AIDS-knowledge and 9 high-risk sexual practices and between self-efficacy and 18 high-risk sexual practices. For heterosexuals, and to a lesser degree for homosexuals, high-risk sexual practices increased as drug-related behaviours and sex with prostitutes increased.
