Abstract
To identify relational correlates of unprotected oral sex (UOS) and vaginal intercourse (UVI) among African-American females. Participants (n=715) provided data on demographics, sexual communication self efficacy (SCSE), sexual communication frequency, condom self-efficacy, power in sexual relationships, fear of negotiating condom use, UOS and UVI. Participants reporting low SCSE were 2.5 and 1.6 times more likely to report UOS and UVI respectively. Additionally, participants who reported fear of condom negotiation were 3.1 times more likely to report UVI. Interventions promoting stronger SCSE may be a protective factor against having UOS and UVI among African-American females.
