Abstract
Currently 33.2 million people worldwide live with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and/or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS); 25 million of these live in sub-Saharan Africa. Due to their sexually risky behaviors, one of the highest risk groups for HIV in sub-Saharan Africa is college-aged students. However, statistics do not usually address this population specifically. Although research in the United States has identified the success of specific interventions that have decreased sexually risky behavior specifically in middle and high school aged young people, there has been some successful work with college-aged students as well. However, there has been little effort devoted to making the programs already shown successful in the United States culturally appropriate for other countries. One of the major researchers of the programs shown to be effective in the United States is Douglas Kirby. This article examines the usefulness of Douglas Kirby's Logic Model in creating interventions appropriate for the college-aged students in sub-Saharan Africa. It will review programs Kirby found effective in the United States for middle and high school youth as well as the possible incorporation of self-management skills that have been shown effective in college-aged students in the United States.
