title: The paradox of risk: historically black college/university students and sexual health.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This literature review provides an analysis of the current state of the empirical research on sexual health among students attending historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
  
  
  METHODS
  Several electronic databases were used to identify 24 empirical studies that met criteria for inclusion in this review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results indicated that perceived human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk, religiosity, HIV testing, condom use, and substance use were as high or higher for black HBCU students in comparison with students of other racial/ethnic groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Consistent with past findings, sexually transmitted infections continue to be of concern among HBCU students, as seen in the general black population.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This review only examined cross-sectional studies published between 2000 and 2013.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The findings in this review suggest the importance of moving beyond individual risk models to examining structural barriers and assets related to promoting sexual health on HBCU campuses.
