对墨西哥流动劳工的艾滋病和避孕套相关知识、信念和行为进行了评估。样本包括55名男性和32名女性，他们接受了修改后的西班牙裔避孕套问卷调查。结果表明，受访者对艾滋病毒的实际传播方式很了解，但三分之一至一半的样本认为，他们可能会通过蚊子叮咬、公共卫生间和接吻等不太可能的来源感染艾滋病。正确使用安全套的知识上升存在问题，在过去一年中避孕套的使用频率不超过一半。对感染艾滋病的担忧普遍较低，但年轻移民和有多个性伴侣的移民的担忧最高。尽管受访者几乎没有对使用避孕套的后果持负面看法，但大多数人认为，女性携带避孕套会被视为滥交。
AIDS and condom-related knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors were assessed in Mexican migrant laborers. The sample consisted of 55 men and 32 women who were administered a modified version of the Hispanic Condom Questionnaire. Results indicated that respondents were knowledgeable about actual modes of HIV transmission but that a third to half of the sample believed they could contract AIDS from unlikely sources such as mosquito bites, public bathrooms, and kissing on the mouth. Knowledge of proper condom rise war problematic, and frequency of condom use during the past year was no higher than half of the time. Concern about contracting AIDS was generally low but was highest for migrants that were younger and for those with multiple sex partners. Although respondents reported few negative beliefs about the consequences of condom use, most believed that women would be seen as promiscuous for carrying condoms.
