Individual\u2019s beliefs about the risks for HIV super-infection may have significant effects on the sexual behaviours of people living with HIV\/AIDS. HIV super-infection beliefs and sexual behaviours among people living with HIV\/AIDS were examined in the present study. Methods: Three hundred and twenty men, 137 women, and 33 transgender persons completed confidential surveys in a community research setting. Results: A majority of participants were aware of HIV super-infection and most believed it was harmful to their health. Hierarchical multiple regressions predicting protected anal\/vaginal intercourse with same HIV status (seroconcordant) partners showed that older age and less alcohol use were associated with greater protected sex. In addition, HIV super-infection beliefs predicted protected sexual behaviour over and above participant age and alcohol use. Conclusions: Beliefs about HIV super-infection exert significant influence on sexual behaviours of people living with HIV\/AIDS and should be targeted in HIV prevention messages for HIV infected persons.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh09121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,9]],"date-time":"2010-11-09T23:06:22Z","timestamp":1289343982000},"page":"420-424","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["HIV super-infection beliefs and sexual practices of people living with HIV\/AIDS"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Seth C.","family":"Kalichman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ADepartment of Psychology, University of Connecticut, 406 Babbidge Road, Storrs, CT 06269, USA."},{"name":"BCorresponding author.
