Safer sex behaviors (monogamy, sexual abstinence, correct and consistent condom usage) are important for prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS among college students. The purpose of this article was to review studies addressing determinants of safer sex behaviors among college students. In order to collect materials for this study a search of seven databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, ERIC, Academic Search Premier, Scopus, Web of Science, Social Sciences Citation Index) was conducted for the time period 1990-2008. A total of 12 studies for determinants of safer sex behaviors were extracted. Alcohol usage, religiosity, barriers to condom use and perceived social norms were some of the determinants of safer sex behaviors.  \nRecommendations for developing safer sex interventions in college students are presented.  \nKey words: Safer sex, college students, determinants, monogamy.  \nIntroduction  \nSafer sex is important for protection against STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) including HIV/AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) . Consistent and correct condom usage along with a monogamous relationship are two important aspects for STD and HIV/AIDS prevention. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has grown to alarming proportions. Of the 281,421 persons getting a diagnosis of HIV infection during 1996-2005, 45% had a diagnosis of AIDS, 3 years after their HIV diagnosis [1] . The demographic trends from 1981-2004 have shown that these cases are more in males as compared to females (71.3% vs. 28.7%), more in the age-group 30-44 years,(50.8%), highest in black, non-hispanics (51%), and more because of male to male sexual contact (43.5%) and heterosexual contact (34.0%)[2] . Most of the HIV-related research is targeted towards high-risk groups such as prostitutes, gays and substance abusers but there is evidence that it’s increasing in college students and adolescents as well [1],[3] .  \nIn a recent study that examined the determinants of HIV/AIDS related risky behaviors among adolescents, lower self-esteem and emotional distress significantly predicted unprotected sex and multiple partners [4] . Another recent study which looked at predictors of HIV/AIDS risk among college students, showed gender to be the strongest predictor of condom use and race to be the strongest predictor of number of sexual partners [5].Based on the study of these determinants some of the suggestions made were of reinforcing knowledge about HIV/AIDS, promoting social norms and skills for condom usage, and address number of sexual partners as a risk factor for African-American population [5] . Similar factors emerged significant in a study which looked as demographic and personality factors in HIV/STD partner specific risk perceptions among young adults [6] .  \nSome of the risk factors for engaging in unsafe sexual activities among the college students are use of alcohol [7, 8], partner characteristics such as steady versus non steady partner (8), and substance abuse [7] . Several studies have found that pregnancy prevention rather than disease prevention was the impetus for condom use [9, 10] . Health education in the form of information about pregnancy  \nReceived 1 March2010, accepted 14 March 2010, published 27 March 2010  \nprevention can unintentionally increase condom use. HIV/AIDS knowledge provided to individuals does not help in generating behavior change. In a recent study conducted among undergraduates, it was seen that students who had very good knowledge about HIV/AIDS, had low condom use to prevent its transmission [11] . Further evidence of knowledge-behavior gap comes from a study, which used a random sample survey of students in which the level of student knowledge was very high but did not lead to protective condom behaviors. However knowledge was found to be an enabling factor in maintainin","cbCaij1Vq7NmE2fl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij1Vq7NmE2fl","pdf",67663,12,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Methods\n# Results","[{\"question\":\"What safer sex behaviors does the article focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The review emphasizes monogamy, sexual abstinence, and correct and consistent condom use as key safer sex behaviors for preventing STDs and HIV/AIDS.\"},{\"question\":\"How were studies collected for this review?\",\"answer\":\"Materials were gathered by searching seven databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, ERIC, Academic Search Premier, Scopus, Web of Science, and Social Sciences Citation Index) covering 1990–2008.\"},{\"question\":\"Which factors are identified as determinants of safer sex behaviors?\",\"answer\":\"The article highlights alcohol usage, religiosity, barriers to condom use, and perceived social norms as determinants affecting safer sex behaviors among college students.\"}]","DETERMINANTS OF SAFER SEX BEHAVIORS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS - Volume 3 - Number 1 - 2010 abstract | PDF",1792065441]
