 AB    The AIDS Risk Reduction Model is a theory-based representation of
       sequential psychosocial processes by which people may attempt to change
       their HIV risk behavior. These processes are said to occur in three
       stages: 1) labeling one's risk behavior as problematic, 2) forming an
       intention to change behavior, and 3) taking action to accomplish change.
       Cognitive and perceptual factors are said to influence progress across
       stages. This study tests the degree to which hypothesized relationships
       among factors at Stages 1 and 2 are consistent with cross-sectional data
       collected from a sample of HIV-negative injection drug users who
       reported recent sharing of drug injection paraphernalia (works).
       Findings indicate that intentions to share works less often in the
       future may be influenced directly by drug users' perceived risk of
       infection, which in turn is influenced by their level of HIV knowledge,
       perceived susceptibility to HIV, and perceived peer norms regarding
       drug-related risk reduction.
