 AB    Fifty-six Israeli adolescents under the care of probation officers were
       interviewed about their AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes, and
       behaviors. The results suggest that these adolescents put themselves at
       risk of HIV infection. A substantial proportion of the sample
       demonstrated a lack of knowledge on issues relevant for AIDS prevention.
       The majority held negative attitudes toward condoms but were also
       sexually active, and some had experienced unprotected sexual
       intercourse, anal sex, and drug use. Most of the respondents, moreover,
       showed a lack of competence in handling situations that pressure them to
       act unsafely. Implications for practice are discussed.
