Sexual behaviors and procreational intentions of adolescents and young adults with perinatally acquired human immunodeficiency virus infection experience of an urban tertiary center
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2006Co-Authors: Echezona E Ezeanolue, Patricia A Wodi, Rakesh Patel, Arry Dieudonne, James M OleskeAbstract:Abstract Purpose To assess Sexual Knowledge, behaviors, and procreational intentions of adolescents and young adults with perinatally acquired human immunodeficiency virus (PNA HIV) infection. Increasingly, children with PNA HIV infection survive to adolescence and become Sexually active. Understanding their procreational intentions could aid in designing reproductive health and secondary prevention programs. Methods A cross-sectional survey of adolescents and young adults with PNA HIV infection at an urban tertiary center was conducted. From June 2003 through September 2004, participants completed a questionnaire that inquired about their Sexual Knowledge and behaviors. Participants aware of their diagnoses also completed items regarding procreational intentions. Results Seventy-four percent (57/77) of eligible participants completed the survey. Thirty-three percent (19/57) of participants reported having had penile–vaginal intercourse, 89.4% of them after learning of their HIV status. Fifty percent (5/10) of Sexually active female participants had been pregnant. Among the 50 participants who were aware of their diagnosis, 70% (n = 35) expressed intent to have children. A majority of those aware of the risk of maternal-to-child transmission (MTCT) (71.1%) expressed intent to procreate. Participants who perceived MTCT as low were more likely to express intent to procreate than those who perceived the risk of MTCT as high. Conclusions Adolescents with PNA HIV infection are becoming Sexually active and express intent to have children. This has important implications for secondary prevention of HIV infection. These adolescents need innovative intervention programs offering reproductive health education including procreational choices and considerations.

perceived effects of Sexually explicit media among men who have sex with men and psychometric properties of the pornography consumption effects scale pces
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Gert Martin Hald, Derek J Smolenski, B Simon R RosserAbstract:ABSTRACT Introduction Researchers have proposed that consumption of Sexually Explicit Media (SEM) may not only adversely influence Sexual attitudes and behaviors of Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) but (also) play a positive role in the development and Sexual education of MSM, be a major source of Sexual information for MSM, and provide validation, understanding, and confirmation of MSM's Sexual orientation. However, such claims are in urgent need of empirical validation as is the development of psychometrically sound and easily implemented instruments able to reliably assist such validations. Aims To investigate how MSM who consume SEM self-perceive the impact of SEM on their Sexually-transmitted-infections-related Sexual risk behaviors (i.e., anal intercourse), Sexual Knowledge, enjoyment of sex, interest in sex, attitudes toward sex, and understanding of their Sexual orientation. Further, to provide a thorough psychometric validation of a reduced and reworked version of the Pornography Consumption Effects Scale (PCES). Main Outcome Measure A revised version of the PCES by Hald and Malamuth. Methods Online cross-sectional survey study of 1,333 US adult Men Who Have Sex with Men. Results This study found that 97% of MSM reported positive effects of SEM consumption on their Sexual Knowledge, enjoyment of and interest in sex, attitudes toward sex, and understanding of their Sexual orientation. Only 3% reported any negative effects of their SEM consumption. SEM consumption was found to significantly increase consumers' interest in having protected anal intercourse while not significantly influencing their interests in having unprotected anal intercourse. The revised version of the PCES showed excellent psychometric performance. Conclusion The study found that MSM generally report positive effects of their consumption of Sexually explicit materials in areas related to their Sexual Knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and orientation. This finding could have important implications for the Sexual health and well-being of MSM by suggesting that SEM-based education and intervention might hold considerable overall health potential for MSM.

self perceived effects of pornography consumption
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2008Co-Authors: Gert Martin Hald, Neil M MalamuthAbstract:The self-perceived effects of “hardcore” pornography consumption were studied in a large representative sample of young adult Danish men and women aged 18–30. Using a survey that included the newly developed Pornography Consumption Effect Scale, we assessed participants’ reports of how pornography has affected them personally in various areas, including their Sexual Knowledge, attitudes toward sex, attitudes toward and perception of the opposite sex, sex life, and general quality of life. Across all areas investigated, participants reported only small, if any, negative effects with men reporting slightly more negative effects than women. In contrast, moderate positive effects were generally reported by both men and women, with men reporting significantly more positive effects than women. For both sexes, Sexual background factors were found to significantly predict both positive and negative effects of pornography consumption. Although the proportion of variance in positive effects accounted for by Sexual background factors was substantial, it was small for negative effects. We discuss how the findings may be interpreted differently by supporters and opponents of pornography due to the reliance in this study on reported self-perceptions of effects. Nonetheless, we conclude that the overall findings suggest that many young Danish adults believe that pornography has had primarily a positive effect on various aspects of their lives.
