  • Title: Judgments of risk of becoming HIV-infected through sexual contact in Lomé, Togo.
    Author: Kpanake L, Mullet E.
    Journal: Psychol Health Med; 2010 Mar; 15(2):166-71. PubMed ID: 20391234.
    Abstract:
    The way Togolese people estimate the risk of becoming HIV-infected as a result of sexual contact was examined. The participants were presented with scenarios depicting a number of sexual acts, use of protective devices, and the probability that the partner is infected. Findings support the appropriate use of protective behavior information, as well as the appropriate use of probability information. Number of sexual acts was, however, perceived to have minimal impact on risk. Togolese people should be made aware, through systematic information campaigns, of the relationship between number of sexual acts and risk.
