AB The authors surveyed a sample of 132 medical students to assess their
behaviors related to the risk of HIV infection. Scale measures were
computed for survey questions relating to both occupational and
nonoccupational behavior and also for questions relating to knowledge of
any worry about HIV infection. Regression analysis to assess the
influence of demographic characteristics, knowledge, and worry on
occupational and nonoccupational behavior indicated that (1) medical
students are more likely to implement behaviors to protect themselves
from occupational exposure to HIV infection than from nonoccupational
exposure and (2) students who worried more about HIV infection reported
less at-risk occupational behavior. Implications of these findings for
intervention efforts with medical students are addressed.
