AB In a study of knowledge and beliefs about human immunodeficiency virus
among older persons, 458 senior center participants completed a
questionnaire derived from the Health Belief Model. The older adults had
a fairly good knowledge base about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS). Although they recognized the seriousness of the disease, they
generally did not believe that they were susceptible to AIDS. Those who
expressed an interest in receiving AIDS education had significantly
higher perceived susceptibility scores than those who did not. African
American respondents were statistically more interested in AIDS
education than white or Hispanic respondents. Recommendations for
interventions and further research are discussed.
