The purpose of this study is to describe the occurrence of non-condom use during vaginal or anal intercourse controlling for HIV symptoms, AIDS knowledge, relationship status and safer sex discussion; in 73 self identified seropositive heterosexual African American males. The participants were analyzed as a subset from a larger sample of 130 HIV seropositive African American men. HIV related symptoms were reported by all of the study participants. Twenty-seven percent of the participants reported engaging in same sex behavior, 37% reported not using condoms during vaginal sex, and 75% reported non-condom use during anal sex during the past three months. Twenty-four percent did not decrease sexual risk behaviors, despite being seropositive. The Logistic regression analysis indicated the odds for participants not using condoms who did not engage in safe sex discussions were 77.4 times for vaginal sex, and 14.2 times during anal sex. These findings are compelling given that African Americans comprise 50% of new HIV infections each year.
