Music + HIV risk
US boys hooked on gospel, techno and pop are more at risk of
HIV infection than devotees of other musical styles, including "bling, bling" hip hop, according to a new study.
...[Researchers] found boys who listened to hip hop music were more likely to have vaginal intercourse and had more partners, but boys from church or New York club scenes (techno, pop, electronic) took the most sexual risks.
"Boys who listened to hip hop had more sex and more partners, but it did not impact condom use," said Munoz-Laboy. "Those who are part of religious culture or the club scene used condoms inconsistently."
awesome.
