“…In other words, disclosure of HIV status to family members was a protective factor for PLWHA to engage in safe sex. Such a finding was also consistent with existing literature (Du et al, 2015;Philogene, 2014;Salaudeen et al, 2014).…”

“…Studies on PLWHA have reported that a large proportion of PLWHA are still sexually active with a high prevalence of unsafe sexual behavior (e.g., inconsistent condom use) (Du et al, 2015;Salaudeen et al, 2014). A study of 519 PLWHA in HIV outpatient centers in the US found that about two-thirds (65.7%) were sexually active in the last 12 months, and a half of these sexually active patients reported at least one unsafe sexual behavior (e.g., inconsistent condom use, sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and exchange of sex for money) in the last 12 months (Du et al, 2015).…”

The number of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has been increasing in China. Previous studies have examined the association between social norms and risk behaviors among high-risk populations for HIV infection. However, little is known about social norms and condom use among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). This study sought to investigate the relationship between perceived social norms on condom use and inconsistent condom use among PLWHA. A cross-sectional survey was conducted through convenience sampling among 412 PLWHA between March and June 2013 in Guangzhou, China. Descriptive norm of condom use was measured as perception of number of friends thinking it necessary to use condoms when having sex. About three-fourths (n = 301, 73.1%) of the PLWHA were sexually active since HIV diagnosis. Among the sexually active PLWHA, the average age was 36.5 years; about two-thirds were male; the majority was Han ethnic (92.7%); 55.5% discussed condom use with their friends and the rate of inconsistent condom use in the last three sexual encounters was 29.2%. In the multivariate logistic regression, PLWHA who perceived more of their friends' approval of condom use were less likely to engage in unprotected sex than their counterparts (aOR = 0.25, p = .001). Those whose family members were aware of their HIV infection status were less likely to engage in unprotected sex than their counterparts (aOR = 0.17, p < .001). Those who lived with family members were more likely to have unprotected sex than those who lived with friends (aOR = 8.47, p = .007). The results underscore the importance of developing culturally appropriate social norm-based HIV interventions among PLWHA. Future interventions focused on changing social norms on risk behaviors in the social network of PLWHA have the potential to reduce risk behaviors and to promote condom use among PLWHA.
