The ABCs of HIV prevention in Men: Associations with HIV risk and protective behaviors

Article Abstract:

A survey study was conducted to elucidate associations between beliefs in abstinence, fidelity, and condom use (the ABCs of preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections) and associated self-reported risk behavior among Kenyan men. The results raise the question as to whether the ABC of HIV prevention should be promoted in a context-specific way (as with current US government policies) or in aggregate, beginning at an early age to be used throughout different life stages.
