[[alternative]]Factors Associated with HIV/AIDS Preventive Behaviors Among Two-Year College Night School Students

[[abstract]]The purpose of this study was to investigate the influential factors of the use of condom when sexual intercourse occurs among two-year college night school students. In addition, the study is aimed to probe about the students, needs for AIDS preventive education. Questionnaires on the knowledge, intention, and enactment of HIV preventive behaviors were administered to a total of 870 students; 671 samples are recognized as effected, 165 students (55males and 110 females) out of the effective samples have had sexual intercourse; then the data are processed through SAS statistical analysis and the findings are listed as below:1.24.2% of the students with primary sexual partners use condom when each intercourse occurs, and 20.9% use condom in secondary sexual partners. Students with primary sexual partners use condom more often than those with secondary sexual partners.2.The students who take the AIDS course may significantly use condom when each intercourse occurs. In addition, higher frequency of condom use is correlated with clearer condom norms, better health protective sexual communication, and stronger intention to use condom; By contrast,lower frequency of condom use is correlated with higher acceptance of sexuality and greater perceived barriers when each intercourse occurs.3.The most significant factor that influences students, knowledge about AIDS is the AIDS course, not the gender.4.The topics that students are most interested in the AIDS course is the trasmission and protective methods of HIV infection. Moreover, females students who have taken the class of AIDS are more likely to choose more AIDS course hours than males who have not taken the lessons before.5.When the sexual problem is not threat to health (e.g., dating or mate-selection), students may gets help from informal system, such as friends. When the problem can harm health (e.g., one may catch HIV), they tend to search help from formal system, such as physicians. It is not only against the tide but also provides limited effects to educate only females students about AIDS since most sexual intercourse occur between men and women. Therefore, the study suggested that males students should receive AIDS preventive education as well.I
