TI  - [A KABP (knowledge, attitude, belief and behavior) study about AIDS among taxi 
      drivers and hotel attendants in Beijing].
PG  - 323-7
AB  - This article reports the KABP study on 448 taxi drivers and 556 hotel attendants 
      in Beijing for the first time in China. A self-administered questionnaire was 
      used to investigate knowledge, attitude, belief and practice (KABP) about AIDS. 
      In terms of knowledge, 23.8% of hotel attendants and 36.8% of taxi drivers did 
      not know that contact with blood could transmit HIV. Thirtyfive percent of hotel 
      attendants and 42.2% of taxi drivers did not believe that intravenous drug users 
      were at high risk. Some drivers (13.6%) and hotel attendants (3.4%) reported 
      having multiple sexual partners. Forty-one point nine percent of taxi drivers and 
      16.6% of hotel attendants preferred the idea of multiple sexual partners. Among 
      hotel attendants, a negative association was found between knowledge about AIDS 
      and multiple sexual behavior (P < 0.01). Regarding attitude toward condom use, 
      56.2% of taxi drivers and 47.8% of hotel attendants who have had a sexual 
      experience thought that condom use interfered with sexual pleasure. Seventy-six 
      point eight percent of taxi drivers and 79.8% of hotel attendants believed that 
      they could change their behaviors in order to minimize the chances of getting 
      HIV. This study indicates that HIV education is important in reducing the number 
      of sexual partners and promoting the use of safe sex practices like condom use. 
      Furthermore, as reported by the study population, education can change behavior.
