Many of the inner-city women who participated in Dr. Sobo's research were seriously involved with one man, and they had heavy emotional and social investments in believing or maintaining that their partners were faithful to them. Uninvolved women had similarly heavy investments in their abilities to identify or choose potential partners who were HIV-negative. Women did not see themselves as being at risk for HIV infection, and so they saw no need for condoms. But they did recommend that other women, whom they saw as quite likely to be involved with sexually unfaithful men, use them. 606 $aWomen with social disabilities$xSexual behavior$zUnited States 606 $aSexual health$zUnited States 606 $aUnsafe sex$zUnited States 606 $aSafe sex in AIDS prevention$zUnited States 606 $aSexual behavior surveys$zUnited States 606 $aAIDS (Disease) in women$zUnited States 610 $aCaregiving. 610 $aHealth. 610 $aMedicine. 615 0$aWomen with social disabilities$xSexual behavior 615 0$aSexual health 615 0$aUnsafe sex 615 0$aSafe sex in AIDS prevention 615 0$aSexual behavior surveys 615 0$aAIDS (Disease) in women 676 $a613.9/54 700 $aSobo$b Elisa Janine$f1963-$0934941 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820514903321 996 $aChoosing unsafe sex$93977764 997 $aUNINA
