AB OBJECTIVES: To assess the reliability of sexual behavior information
based on personal interviews. METHODS: Male index cases (IC) and their
female partners (FP), recruited from AIDS centers in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, were interviewed for risk factors. Structured questionnaires
were tested and interviewers were trained following standard manuals of
instructions. They were blind with regard to the FPs HIV serostatus.
Male and female interviews were carried out in different rooms, by
separate interviewers and in the same day. Analysis included: percent
agreement and Kappa coeficient for comparing male vs female answers
among couples recruited thru Dec. 1993. Reliability of other male vs
female comparisons (e.g. income, duration of relationship, frequency of
contacts) and results of reinterview of FPs will be presented. TABULAR
DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Reliability was satisfactory
for all sexual practices, specially vaginal and anal sex; 2.
Person-to-person interviews, within a Brazilian cultural setting, are
adequate for obtaining reliable sexual histories among partner studies;
4. Nevertheless, testing of questionnaires and training of personnel
should always be conducted when interviews are used for assessing sexual
behavior.
