亲密关系中的个体比发生随意性行为的个体更容易发生艾滋病毒危险行为(例如,Bowen & Michal-Johnson,1989;Misovich、Fisher 和 Fisher,1996)。虽然造成这种一致影响模式的可能原因有很多,但很少有研究专注于确定根本原因。因此,同性焦点小组以亲密关系中的大学年龄男性和女性为参与者,以便定性地研究与艾滋病毒风险相关的关系特有因素。焦点小组成员表示,担心通过引入安全套或艾滋病毒检测来质疑人与人之间的信任和承诺,往往是这些做法的强大障碍。讨论了针对人际关系中的个人的未来艾滋病毒预防干预措施的建议。
Individuals in intimate relationships engage in higher levels of HIV risk behavior than do individuals engaging in casual sex (e.g., Bowen & Michal-Johnson, 1989; Misovich, Fisher, & Fisher, 1996). While there are many possible reasons for this consistent pattern of effects, few studies have focused on identifying the underlying causes. Therefore, same-gender focus groups were conducted with college-age men and women in intimate relationships as participants in order to examine, qualitatively, factors particular to relationships which are associated with HIV risk. Focus-group members indicated that concerns about questioning interpersonal trust and commitment in their relationship through the introduction of condoms or HIV testing were often strong impediments to these practices. Recommendations for future HIV-prevention interventions specific to individuals in relationships are discussed.
