Abstract

This research aims to test a model to predict the attitude toward PLWHA and getting tested for HIV. The Scale of Attitude toward, the Scale toward Lesbians and Gays, the scale of Right Wing Authoritarianism and questions about sociodemographic information, clinical data, sexual behaviour and relationships of friendship were applied to 202 Mexican medical students. A non-probability sampling was used. With a close data fit, an attitude of greater rejection towards PLWHA was predicted by heterosexual orientation, being man, and right-wing authoritarianism. The attitude toward homosexual persons had a substantive correlation with attitude toward PLWHA, but it was not a predictor. Getting tested for HIV was predicted to be a man, an attitude of acceptance towards PLWHA, having homosexual friends, and authoritarianism. It is concluded that the specified model of psychosocial perspective has a great explanatory capacity.
