Education does not get condoms on, study shows
LOS ANGELES — Education alone fails to make college students ask prospective lovers about AIDS, but adding an AIDS test gets their attention and makes discussions with their partners almost twice as likely, says a study released yesterday.
The study involved 370 heterosexual students who attended the UCLA student health clinic. Some students were taught about AIDS, others also got an AIDS antibody test and a third group was left alone. The students were questioned at the start of the study and six months later about whether they asked if their sexual partners were infected by the AIDS virus.
But despite increased willingness to ask partners if they were infected, almost two-thirds of the students in the study still didn't use condoms, the researchers found.
The findings suggest that when doctors teach patients about AIDS, they also should offer voluntary tests for the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, which causes the disease, said Dr. Neil S. Wenger, chief author of the study at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Students ignore AIDS risk
Education and AIDS tests combined "should be central to public health interventions to stop the spread of HIV," Wenger and his colleagues
wrote in today's issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.
But the results "in no way support the concept of mandatory testing in any population," they added.
+wenger and his co-authors said that the study's results might be interpreted as a failure of AIDS education. But they noted that sexual activity among the students was fairly low, that few had multiple lovers and that asking if a potential lover carries the AIDS virus may be more important than sexual activities with that partner.
The study is important because it shows that taking an AIDS test can make people more likely to ask if their lovers are infected, just like showing patients their chest X-rays reinforced anti-smoking messages, said Dr. Meryyn Silverman, president of the American Foundation for AIDS Research.
The researchers warned, however, that lovers may lie about their AIDS risk, and that the unaware might be bullied into unprotected sexual behaviors by unscrupulous partners.
"Sadly, however, we see how difficult it is to get people to wear condoms when having sex," Silverman said by phone from San Francisco.
AIDS, which kills by crippling the
Among those who received AIDS tests and education, the percentage of students who asked about their partner's HIV status rose from 31 percent to 56 percent. The percentage increased from 34 percent to 41 percent among those who received education alone. Students who had neither testing nor education increased 39 percent to 42 percent.
About 80 percent of the students were sexually active during the six-month study, and almost two-thirds of them had unprotected intercourse.
