might result in the choice NOT to use condoms during sexual activity outside of the constraints of a long-term relationship. This study uses a qualitative methodology to assess the
outcomes of this education program in order to determine if the use of effective adult education programming increases condom use. The hypothesis proven by the study outcomes is that
effective education for adults does increase condom use in general, though variations occur when dividing populations by gender and at-risk conditions, including socioeconomic indicators. Introduction One
of the most problematic adult risk-taking behaviors is unprotected sexual contact outside of the confines of a long-term or marital relationship. Though sexual promiscuity has believed to be on
the decline in recent years, studies suggest that adults who participate in sexual contact with multiple partners continue to do so without using protection from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including
HIV infection. Existing research studies regarding the spread of HIV/AIDS suggests that one of the primary causes in the modern era is heterosexual sexual contact, including sexual behaviors with
IV drug users and others who have contracted the virus through sexual contact. Even with this knowledge, researchers have questioned the benefits of adult education programs, recognizing that
varied outcomes from these programs have been noted. At the same time, many AIDS education programs directed towards adult populations are based on the belief that education will inherently
influence adult choices, including the choice for condom use. The effectiveness of sex education programming on both adolescent and adult populations has been the focus of a number of
