AB This draft report is designed to provide information and guidance on social marketing to HIV prevention program planners. It was written to help organizations develop, deliver, and evaluate interventions by: 1) increasing understanding of the principles and process of social marketing to reinforce or change behaviors to prevent HIV infection; 2) providing a framework for creating, carrying out, and evaluating social marketing-based HIV prevention programs in community settings; and 3) describing CDC's Prevention Marketing Initiative (PMI) and other interventions based on social marketing. The first section lays out community guidelines for implementing social marketing -- its key elements, applications, and benefits -- and illustrates it principles with sketches of successful programs. The second section presents community guidelines for implementing social marketing-based HIV prevention programs. The guidelines cover the areas of research and evaluation, coalition building, health communications, and linkage and integration with existing health, education, and social service agencies. The recommendations were developed by the CDC and the Prevention Collaborative, an alliance of local, State, regional, and national organizations working to prevent HIV transmission.

(212) 819-9770. AB This article addresses the language and cultural barriers that cause the failure of health care workers and educators to identify and educate Hispanic women. According to the author, in all sectors of the Latino community, sexuality is an intensely private issue. Therefore, Latina women will not readily discuss or seek out information about sexual behavior. Most Latinas are Catholic, and the Catholic religion prohibits the use of condoms. One of the Hispanic women's primary motivations for staying healthy is to be able to continue caring for her children. Counselors should use this motivation to persuade Latinas to use condoms. These women must be provided with information on how to protect themselves and the negotiation skills that will enable them to act on the information. Health care workers are advised to seize every opportunity to make contact with women at risk of HIV infection in a culturally sensitive manner. MJ Hispanics . Women . HIV prevention .

(404) 488-5330. Attn: Dr. Richard Lowry. AB This study refines the association between substance use and sexual behaviors by examining the relationships between typical stages of adolescent substance use and specific HIV-related sexual behaviors and a nationally-representative sample of high school students. These behaviors include sexual intercourse, multiple sex partners, and condom use. The authors sought to determine whether use of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, and other illicit drugs were related to the likelihood of sexual behaviors that increase risk for HIV. Students who reported no substance use were least likely to report having had sexual intercourse, having had four or more sex partners, and not having used a condom at last sexual intercourse. Risk was greatest among students who had used marijuana, cocaine, or other illegal drugs. Students who had used only alcohol or cigarettes had smaller but still significant increases in the likelihood of having had sexual intercourse and/or having four or more sex partners. HIV prevention programs for youth should recognize that substance use many be an important indicate of risk for HIV infection and AIDS through its association with unsafe sexual behaviors.

AB This paper presents a study that applies the construct of opinion leadership to the health area of AIDS. Approximately 290 college students completed a questionnaire that identified individuals who peers tended to use as sources of information about AIDS. The results showed that, among men, the AIDS opinion leaders tended to have a larger number of sexual partners than their nonleader counterparts and that they were no more likely to practice safe sex or be more knowledgeable about safer sex. Female AIDS opinion leaders tended to engage in less sexual activity than their nonleader counterparts, but showed a greater reluctance to communicate with men about condom use. In addition, female AIDS opinion leaders were neither more knowledgeable about safer sex nor more likely to engage in safer sex than were their nonleader counterparts. MJ Young adults .

In the first article, the author conducted a study to examine the ways in which Hispanic women are able or willing to exercise sexual decision-making power in a heterosexual relationship. The resolution of this issue is critical to the implementation of safer sex education programs. The second paper presents epidemiological data on AIDS among Hispanic Americans. Condom availability and sexual activity is the subject of the third report. The fourth paper examines the development of culturally-sensitive and appropriate sexually-transmitted disease prevention videotapes.

AB This article presents the results of a study assessing predictors of condom use with male partners among Latino and non-Latino women. A total of 697 women (513 Latino, 184 non-Latino White) who reported having a male partner in the previous year were taken from a larger population-based sample of telephone interviews with adults ages 18-49. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess predictors of use. The results indicate most women never use condoms with their primary partner. Those who do were more likely to be unmarried and younger. Predictors of condom use, which were the same for Latino and non-Latino women, include: partner's anger at condom use request; worry of contracting HIV; number of sexual partners; having friends who use condoms; self-efficacy to insist on condom use; positive attitude towards use; and no other contraception. The author's conclude that the sexual behaviors recommended to prevent HIV infection present difficult and complex issues for women. Many women encounter resistance from a primary partner and, consequently, are less likely to demand condom use. They suggest that HIV prevention strategies should target heterosexual couples and address gender power norms. MJ Women . Hispanics . Condoms . Sex partners . HIV prevention . AN AD0018495. TI 1995 Revised Guidelines for Prophylaxis Against Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia for Children Infected With or Perinatally Exposed to Human Immunodeficiency Virus. FM 42 - Report. Print Material. AC 100 - Health Professionals. 117 - Researchers. 170 - Physicians. AV CDC National AIDS Clearinghouse P.O. Box 6003 Rockville, MD 20849-6003. (800) 458-5231. CDC NAC Inventory No. D705; Single copy free of charge; S/H fee for multiple copies; HHS Publication No. (CDC)95-8017. AB Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is the most common opportunistic infection in children who have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Despite the publication of guidelines for prophylaxis against PCP for children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 1991, ongoing AIDS surveillance has detected no substantial decrease in PCP incidence among HIV-infected infants. Studies indicate that this continued incidence is associated with failure to identify HIV-infected children before PCP occurs and with limitations in the ability of CD4+ measurements to identify children at risk for PCP. In March 1994, the National Pediatric and Family HIV Resource Center, in collaboration with CDC, convened a working group to review additional data about the occurrence of PCP among HIV-infected children to reevaluate the 1991 PCP prophylaxis guidelines for children. This report summarizes these new data and presents revised PCP prevention guidelines that recommend a) promptly identifying children born to HIV-infected women and initiating regular diagnostic and immunologic monitoring of such children; b) beginning PCP prophylaxis at 4-6 weeks of age for all children who have been perinatally exposed to HIV; c) continuing prophylaxis through 12 months of age for HIV-infected children; and d) making decisions regarding prophylaxis for HIV-infected children >= 12 months of age based on CD4+ measurements and whether PCP previously has occurred.

AB To help teachers enhance the effectiveness of their classroom instruction in human sexuality education, it is necessary to understand their attitudes and concerns about their teaching experiences. Forty-seven sixth grade teachers were surveyed one year after curriculum implementation to examine perception of themselves, their students, colleagues, and community. Teachers answered 70 percent of the knowledge items correctly and indicated slightly liberal orientations. Overall levels of teachers' views generally were positive on scales designed to measure: importance of the items studied, responsibility for student outcomes, three measures of comfort, adequacy of preparation, required changes, ease of use, social supports, and student responses. However, patterns of teacher responses within scales indicated numerous concerns related to curriculum implementation. The concerns and teacher-identified benefits and barriers to teaching the course indicate a focus for continuing education. MJ School administration . School health services . Curricula development .
