title: HIV immunization: acceptability and anticipated effects on sexual behavior among adolescents.
abstract: Adolescents rated hypothetical human immunodeficiency virus vaccines described as 90% and 50% efficacious and discussed how immunization might influence behavior of their peers. The low-efficacy vaccine was largely unacceptable and most believed immunization with the high-efficacy vaccine would cause increased risk behaviors. Immunization programs will need to address vaccine acceptability issues and behavioral responses to immunization.
