African Americans have been disproportionately affected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Even though they only make up about 13.6% of the total U.S. population, they accounted for half of the new HIV infections in adolescents and adults in from 2005-2012 (CDC, 2013). Furthermore, young adults aged 20-24 years represented more than three-quarters (78%) of new HIV infections in 2011 (CDC, 2013). Factors that are leading to higher rates of HIV infection are not only directly related to the ethnic minority status, but also to developmental and social barriers, such as attachment style, modern technology use, and sexual communication (Dodge, et al., 2010). Risky sexual behaviors are further exacerbated by substance use problems because drug use often impairs judgment about sexual encounters. Participants included a sample of 215 young adult, African-American college students at a private historically Black university. The following measures were used: Feeney et al.'s (1994) Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ), Brennan et al.'s (1998) Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory (ECR-I), Bartholomew and Horowitz's (1991) Relationship Questionnaire (RQ), Kenny's (1985) Parental Attachment Questionnaire (PAQ), Hutchinson's (2007) Parent-teen Sexual Risk Communication (PTSRC) scale, Catania's (1998) Health Protective Sexual Communication Scale (HPCS), the Background Questionnaire, Simpson and Gangestad's (1991) Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI), So, Wong, and DeLeon's (2005) Sexual Behavior Checklist, and an adapted version of Collins, Parks, and Marlatt's (1985) Drinking and Drug Habits Questionnaire. We expected to find that attachment was linked to HIV risk behavior, and sexual communication mediated this relationship. Results indicated that insecurely attached individuals were more likely to participate in riskier sexual practices and more likely to report a higher use of illicit substances than those who were securely attached. Sexual communication (i.e., sexting by phone and other mobile device) was also associated with engaging in riskier sexual behavior (e.g., decreased condom use). Sexual communication did not mediate the relationship between adult attachment and HIV risk behavior. Additional significant results, implications, and future directions are discussed.
