AB Unmarried heterosexual college students' HIV knowledge, attitudes, risk
perception, and sexual behavior were assessed before and after Magic
Johnson revealed his HIV-positive serostatus. Students examined after
the disclosure showed a small, though statistically significant,
increase in scores on HIV knowledge. Analyses did not reveal any other
differences between the pre- and postdisclosure samples. Several
differences between men's and women's scores were found, however. In
addition, participants in both groups demonstrated generally positive
attitudes toward HIV and people with HIV disease; rated their risk of
future HIV infection as none to minimal; and reported frequently
engaging in vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse without the use of
condoms. These results suggest that Magic's disclosure did not
significantly affect these students' attitudes, risk perception, or
sexual behavior and that such students continue to engage in behaviors
that may put them at risk for HIV infection.
