Features: This book is a specialized study on HIV/AIDS risk behaviors, written based on the research findings of the National Social Science Fund project "Social Research on the Diffusion of HIV/AIDS Risk Behaviors" (Project No.: 03SHB015). This research is an empirical study grounded in theories such as innovation diffusion and stages of behavior change. The book first systematically discusses the background, fundamental principles, and applications and extensions of relevant theories in the study of sexual risk behaviors. On this basis, it constructs a theoretical framework for the research and provides a detailed introduction to its methodology. The results include both qualitative and quantitative research, encompassing both group conditions and typical cases, as well as numerical descriptions and mathematical models. In addition to comparative studies of these results, the book focuses on interpretive analysis, deriving insights into strategies and approaches for controlling sexual risk behaviors. Based on behavioral principles and research conclusions, the book constructs intervention models for both group and individual behaviors, which are urgently needed in current intervention practices. To facilitate reference for some readers, the last part of the book is an appendix, where behavioral research methods are systematically introduced. Additionally, the last section of the appendix lists several questionnaires and scales used in the research.
