TI Fear and negative feelings as obstacles to prevent AIDS.

AU Wilches I; PROMUJER, Bogota, Colombia.

AB OBJECTIVE: To analyze the feelings that AIDS brings about in young
people and the relation of them with their sexual behaviours. METHODS:
The study was developed with 554 senior students of both sexes and
between 15 to 19 years old, from low-medium socioeconomic level and of a
public school of Bogota. A test and workshops were used to know the
feelings that the students have towards AIDS and how they influence the
sexual behaviours they perform. A qualitative analysis of the results
was done. RESULTS: AIDS produces negative feelings as fear, anxiety and
sometimes indifference. Those feelings easily turn into attitudes of
denial and negligence. Usually young people don't change sexual
behaviours towards prevention of AIDS because of those feelings.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The main feeling that education and
information about AIDS use to change behaviours is fear not only to the
transmission but also to sexuality it self. This strategy does not
prevent early beginning of sexual relations and neither strengthen self
care sexual behaviours. Education and information about AIDS have to
start from a new way of seeing love and sexuality.
