title: African-American men's exposure to music videos and their sexual attitudes and risk behaviour.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Media is a social determinant of HIV and sexually transmissible infection (STI) risk. However, limited empirical data have examined men's media exposure and their sexual attitudes and behaviour towards women.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eighty heterosexual African-American men were assessed on their exposure to music videos, sexual attitudes and behaviour. They also were tested for STIs.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Findings indicated that men influenced by music videos reported more sexual adventurism, more condom barriers, more lifetime sexual partners, more condom request refusals, substance abuse and a history of incarceration.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Further longitudinal research is needed to better understand this relationship and to address the role of media in HIV and STI prevention interventions.
