艾滋病毒预防中的行为变化模型倾向于考虑，风险的性行为反映了风险评估，并且可以改变风险评估行为。但是，风险评估是文化构建的。个人使用启发式方法或从更广泛的文化意义系统中得出的有界认知手段来合理化不确定性。在这项研究中，我们确定了印度果阿移民男子使用的一些文化启发式方法，以评估他们来自不同性伴侣的艾滋病毒感染风险。数据来自一系列深入的访谈和本地知情的调查。鉴定出的文化启发式方法包括视觉启发式方法，性别角色的启发式方法，警惕和信任。该论文认为，对于更多文化知情的艾滋病毒/艾滋病行为改变干预措施，文化启发式知识至关重要。
Behaviour change models in HIV prevention tend to consider that risky sexual behaviours reflect risk assessments and that by changing risk assessments behaviour can be changed. Risk assessment is however culturally constructed. Individuals use heuristics or bounded cognitive devices derived from broader cultural meaning systems to rationalize uncertainty. In this study, we identify some of the cultural heuristics used by migrant men in Goa, India to assess their risk of HIV infection from different sexual partners. Data derives from a series of in-depth interviews and a locally informed survey. Cultural heuristics identified include visual heuristics, heuristics of gender roles, vigilance and trust. The paper argues that, for more culturally informed HIV/AIDS behaviour change interventions, knowledge of cultural heuristics is essential.
