This article presents information on a study conducted investigating the use of condoms during oral and anal sex by African American male and female college students, with reference to AIDS and HIV virus. These findings suggest a high level of concordance between men and women on several measures. However, female participants were consistently more likely to use condoms during oral and anal sex than were male participants. This is important to understanding sexual practices among African American youth when designing HIV primary-prevention programs. The issues presented in this article outline the complex nature of sexual behavior as reported by African American college students. According to social scientists the findings show that condom use during oral and anal sex differs with respect to the sexual act, and in some respects varies for men and women. This may imply that condom use is not a utilitarian response to a given situation but more of a response to habitual associations arid learned behavior. Given that condoms are by habit usually associated with vaginal sex, many individuals may not readily connect condom use to anal or oral sexual acts. |
