  2. Overview of scientific literature • Methods • Results • Discussion • Implications for public health • Limitations

  3. Table 1. Literature Review Study Findings CDC, 20061 HIV prevalence18.5 per 100,000: steady increase 2003-2006. CDC, 20062-3 1.1 m people with HIV & 24%-27% of them unaware of their infection. CDC,20053 Other studies of high risk Rotheram,20004 groups reported unawareness as high as 50%. MMWR, 20025 38%-44% of adults tested; 22m tested annually.

  4. Table 1. Literature Review cont. StudyFindings Barroso et al., 20006 Positive outcomes of early diagnosis both individually & to the wider population. Kalichman et al., 19997 2/3 of HIV+ MSM reported no unprotected sex within past 3-6 months. Marks et al., 20058 Prevalence of unprotected sex 53% lower in HIV+ aware. CDC, 19939-11 Unaware participants did not reduce risky behaviors.

  5. To determine whether HIV diagnosis influences engagement in risky sexual behavior among HIV care and prevention clients in Kentucky.

  6. Original study= 1206 participants • A cross-sectional study • Participation Rate of 60.3% • Probability proportionate to size sampling technique

  7. Data were collected from HIV/AIDS agencies or prevention events off site in Summer 2007. • Prevention clients completed 52 questions, and care clients completed 87 questions on the 2007 HIV needs assessment survey. • Study approved by UK- IRB on January 8, 2008.

  8. 1206 HIV- 545 HIV+ 436 Don’t know 192 3+ years 346 ≤ 2 years 90

  9. Number of sex partners was compared for HIV+ and HIV- participants. • Forms of unsafe sex (oral, vaginal-penile, and anal) were also be compared for both groups.

  10. Data analyzed with SPSS 15.0 • Data statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05 • Chi-Square tests at the bivariate level

  11. Logistic Regression at the multivariable level. • Confounding variables: age; sex; race; residence; sexual orientation; alcohol use; tobacco use; recreational marijuana; and illicit drugs were adjusted for.

  15. HIV+ status had protective effects, so HIV transmission can be reduced by increasing serostatus awareness among HIV+ • Substantial proportion of HIV+ still engaging in risky sexual behavior: multiple partners 36.3%; oral 37.3%; anal 25.6% • HIV- clients were more engaged in risky behaviors.

  16. Findings consistent with previous research7-8 and with the CDC SAFE initiative: • Increasing the number of HIV+ people who know their status • Increasing HIV+ who adopt and sustain HIV-STD risk reduction behavior. • Findings generalizable to HIV/AIDS clients seeking services in similar settings in the state and other states with similar agencies.

  17. Regular HIV testing needs to be highlighted in all HIV/AIDS prevention strategies. • HIV/AIDS prevention agencies constitute an important venue for HIV prevention programs.

  18. Cross sectional study • Retrospective self-reported data: Recall bias; social desirability bias • Convenience sample • Data collected for only 1.5 months
