Summary: | The current study examined sexual risk reduction practices of inner-city African American women. Specifically, the intersection of condom use and partner type is examined through the effectiveness of a single session, one-to-one behavioral skills and motivational enhancement HIV prevention intervention for women at risk for HIV. At pre-intervention, women with non-regular partners reported higher frequency condom use than those with regular partners. Similar results were found for women with multiple partners, in that higher rates of condom use were reported with non-regular partners compared to regular partners. Findings suggest that further investigation into the effectiveness of negotiated safety for women at risk is needed. |
