Seventy participants (of current 330) were chosen by a random sample (December 2015), plus at-risk patients and HIV patients. Attendee compliance and change in scores of questionnaires on knowledge (modified HIV-K-Q-22) and on sexual and injection behaviors were studied.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Forty-six patients (65.7% compliance) attended the lecture, and their knowledge and behavior scores improved 2\u2009weeks post-lecture (knowledge: from 14.2\u2009\u00b1\u20093 to 19.0\u2009\u00b1\u20092.2 [\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.0005], sexual behavior: from 12.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.9 to 8.8\u2009\u00b1\u20093.0 [\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.0005], and injection behavior: from 7.3\u2009\u00b1\u20096.2 to 0.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.3 [\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.0005]). The unjustified fear of proximity to HIV carriers reported by 50% attendees fell to 35% post-lecture. Eight months post-lecture, the scores on knowledge and risky behavior of 21 randomly chosen attendees were still better than pre-lecture scores (knowledge: 15.4\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3 vs. 17.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.8 [paired\n t<\/jats:italic>\n test,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.001], sexual behavior: 13.2\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3 vs. 9.7\u2009\u00b1\u20092.9 [\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.0005], and injection behavior: 9.3\u2009\u00b1\u20095.6 vs. 2.8\u2009\u00b1\u20093.1 [\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.0005]). Drug abuse and treatment adherence were not related to intervention and to risky behavior.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n More knowledge, less fear, and less risky behavior immediately and at 8\u2009months post-lecture reflect the success and importance of the educational intervention. Future efforts are needed in order to reduce ignorance and fear associated with HIV\/AIDS.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1080\/08897077.2018.1528492","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,4]],"date-time":"2018-12-04T18:48:22Z","timestamp":1543949302000},"page":"14-18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Educational Lectures Enhance Knowledge about the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (Hiv) and Reduce Risky Behavior and Fear among Methadone Maintenance Treatment Patients"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Idan","family":"Barak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Israel AIDS Task Force, Tel Aviv, Israel;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miriam","family":"Adelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G.
