HIV-transmission-related risk behavior in HIV+ African American men: Exploring biological, psychological, cognitive, and social factors.
OBJECTIVES: To identify factors associated with HIV-transmission-related risk behavior among HIV+ African American men.
METHOD: We examined biological, psychological, cognitive, and social factors and recent HIV-transmission-related risk behavior (i.e., needle sharing, unprotected sex, exchange sex) among a sample of HIV+ African American men.
RESULTS: A binary logistic regression showed that individuals under age 50 (OR=4.2), with clinically-elevated masochism scores (OR=3.9) on the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III), current substance abuse/dependence (OR=2.6), and higher sensation-seeking (OR=1.3) were more likely to report recent risk behavior.
CONCLUSIONS: Reducing substance use, addressing self-defeating attitudes, and improving self-control may be avenues for future prevention and intervention research among HIV+ African American men engaging in HIV-transmission-related risk behavior.
