Using patient risk indicators to plan prevention strategies in the clinical care setting
Article Abstract:
The distribution of unprotected anal and vaginal sex (UAV) and nondisclosure (ND) among categories of HIV-positive men and women based on relationship factors are examined. It is found that the number of sex partners, type of relationship, and perceived HIV serostatus of a partner influence sexual behaviors and may be an efficient and effective basis for tailoring prevention messages.

Use of and adherence to antiretroviral therapy is associated with decreased sexual risk behavior in HIV clinic patients
Article Abstract:
The relationship between unprotected anal or vaginal sex (UAV) and active antiretroviral therapy (ART) use and adherence in a cross-sectional survey conducted in 874 sexually active patients at 6 public HIV clinics is examined in California. These relationships persisted in most stratified analysis for both ART use and adherence but in multivariate analysis only for ART use.

Effect of a brief antiretroviral adherence intervention delivered by HIV care providers
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to view the importance of intervention provided to the patients focusing on antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence or safer sex. The study suggests that a brief ART adherence intervention delivered by primary care providers each time they saw patients might help their patients to maintain high levels of ART adherence.
