Objectives There are a few instruments available to assess sexual issues in Persian according to indigenous culture. This study aims to translate three instruments of Sexual Addiction Screening Test-Revised (SAST-R), Sexual Risk Survey (SRS) and sexual behavior subscale of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), and evaluate their psychometric parameters. Methods After translating the selected instruments into Persian, a group of psychiatrists evaluated its content validity. The final versions were distributed among 92 participants (45 men and 47 women) selected from among the companions of patients referred to the clinics of Iran Psychiatric Hospital. Then, the factor structure and internal consistency of them were assessed. Results The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for Persian versions of SAST-R, SRS and sexual behavior subscale of YRBSS was obtained 0.878, 0.869 and 0.511, respectively. The factor analysis extracted 12 factors for the SAST-R explaining 71.4% of the variances, 5 factors for the SRS explaining 76.2%b of the variances, and 2 factors for the sexual behavior subscale explaining 56.7% of the variances. Conclusion Persian version of the SAST-R has high internal consistency with a complex factor structure. The Persian version of SRS has high internal consistency with a well-defined factor structure, while the sexual behavior subscale of YRBSS has a good factor structure with a moderate internal consistency. These instruments can be used on Iranian population. Further studies are recommended to evaluate their construct validity and reliability.

The study investigated the attitude of Undergraduate students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko to high-risk behaviours in HIV/AIDS Transmission. Ex-post facto research design was applied for the study while 400 respondents constituted the sample. Self constructed and validated questionnaire was used for date collection. The reliability index was 0.70. Instrument was personally administered with the help of trained assistants. The retrieved questionnaire forms were coded and analyzed with simple percentage and chi-square (X 2 ) statistics. The findings revealed that students had positive attitude towards high-risk behaviours in HIV/AIDS transmission. It was therefore recommended, among others, that opportunities be created in the university for students to recreate themselves meaningfully and that more attention should be given to the moral development of children from primary through tertiary institutions by parents and guardians.

Artykuł stanowi krytyczną genealogię zachodniej gejowskiej post-subkultury bareback, która wyłoniła się w latach dziewięćdziesiątych XX wieku w reakcji na patologizację nienormatywnych praktyk seksualnych w publicznym dyskursie prewencji HIV/AIDS, heteronormatywizację gejostwa przez asymilacyjny nurt LGBT oraz jako niezgoda na funkcjonowanie w obrębie - narzuconej przez dominującą (biomedyczną i społeczną) konfigurację dyskursywną - narracji już (albo jeszcze nie) społecznie „uśmierconego”, ale już zawsze śmiercionośnego, bo (s)konstruowanego poprzez doświadczenia podatności i ryzyka, geja. Zaproponuję odczytanie post-subkultury bareback oraz pornografii typu bareback jako kulturowej krytyki hegemonicznego instytucjonalnego oraz ideologicznego status quo współczesnego systemu-świata, tj. heteronormatywnego dyskursu zdrowia publicznego, heteroprokreacyjnych filozofii polityczno-społecznych, filozofii neoliberalnego indywidualizmu czy prosystemowego dyskursu moralności.
