OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between adolescents' frequency of watching semi-explicit sexual television content and their fear of getting AIDS. METHODS: A longitudinal cohort study was conducted to test whether fourth grade students (N = 733) who regularly watched sexually semi-explicit content at baseline were less likely to be afraid of getting AIDS one year later at follow-up. RESULTS: Regression analyses indicated that adolescents who were frequently exposed to semi-explicit sexual TV content at baseline were less likely to be fearful about getting AIDS one year later. CONCLUSION: Watching semi-explicit television is related to reduced fear of getting AIDS. |
