Abstract
Conclusion This finding refines the application of the protection motivation theory by specifying that risk awareness alone is insufficient to predict protective behaviors. Above average cognitive performance combined with risk awareness reduced HIV/AIDS risk behaviors. Future research should explore the causal mechanisms linking the interaction between risk awareness and cognitive performance in predicting a reduction in risk behaviors. from 2006 International Meeting of The Institute of Human Virology Baltimore, USA. 17–21 November, 2006
