208 Factors Influencing Unprotected Sex in Corrections
Description
This poster examines the psychological, social, and structural factors influencing unprotected sex in correctional settings. The belief that unprotected sex is more pleasurable discourages condom use, compounded by institutional policies banning condom distribution in prisons. Legal restrictions, fear of punishment, and inadequate health care access increase STI risks. Expanding condom availability, enhancing sexual health education, and implementing routine HIV testing are essential strategies for reducing risky behaviors and improving public health outcomes.
