Note: All coefficients are parameters of the multiplicative logit model and
are maximum-likelihood estimates calculated using SPSSX, version 4.l.
Variables have been dichotomized as follows:
C Contact with people tested for HIV (0 - none, 1 - sore)
N : Number of partners (0 - 1 only, 1 - more than 1)
R : Relationship (0 - no, 1 - yes)
Perceived Susceptibility (0 - none, 1 - sore)
Coefficients have been converted from log odds to odds.

INTERVIEW RESULTS
Information obtained through in-depth interviews was used to
elaborate the process involved in developing perceptions of
susceptibility. First, with respect to the influence of cues on
perception, interview results clarified the absence of an effect of
participation in educational programmes about AIDS or awareness of
Safer-Sex on perception of risk. Though both interviewees and
respondents to the survey demonstrated high levels of knowledge
about HIV transmission and prevention (for details consult Maticka­
Tyndale, 1990, 1991); interviewees also exhibited uncertainty and
