Abstrakt:	This study examined predictors of HIV-related sexual risk taking in a high risk and understudied convenience sample of 366 predominantly Mexican, migrant adults without stable housing. The sample included 27% men who have sex with men, 28% injectors of illegal drugs, and 21% sex workers. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that sexual risk taking was predicted by low condom self-efficacy, high-risk behavior, and being female. Interestingly, those who engaged in the highest-risk behaviors were more likely to use condoms consistently during sex, although they carried condoms less. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
