Abstract:
We determined the association of demographic, behavioral, and structural factors with risk of HIV exposure through heterosexual contact among Black men in Ottawa (n=210) and Windsor (n=156), Ontario. We applied hierarchical linear regression model in the analysis. Mean HIV exposure risk scores were Windsor (12.08±8.42) and Ottawa (17.16±11.80) in Ottawa (Scale = 48). Age, marriage, employment, masculinity, and condom attitudes were statistically significant (p <0.05). Age groups (15-29 years and 40-49 years), traditional masculine ideology, and negative condom attitudes associated with increased risk of HIV exposure by heterosexual contact. Marriage and full-time employment associated with reduced risk of exposure the ACB heterosexual men.
