Presently, the leading cause of death among African American young males between the ages of 25-44 is complications from HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this research project is to examine the relationship between safer sex practices and healthy psychosocial adjustment relevant to those who disclose their HIV/AIDS status and sexual orientation. A comparison was made between African American males' disclosure verses non-disclosure of HIV/AIDS seropositive status in relations to safer sex practices and healthy psychosocial adjustment using independent samples t-tests and cross-tabulations statistical measures. In a similar manner, disclosure of sexual orientation verses non-disclosure was analysis in relations to safer sex practices and healthy psychosocial adjustment. Thirty-seven African American males between the ages of 25-44 who are HIV/AIDS seropositive and receiving services from a Community Based HIV/AIDS service organization (ASO) in Alabama Department Public Health (ADPH) Areas VII and IX participated in this study. Of the thirty-seven participants, 24 were from ADPH Area VII and 13 were from ADPH Area IX. Participants were asked to complete an anonymous survey (The Young Men's Survey-modified) developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to assess sexual behaviors and lifestyles of individuals who disclose their HIV/AIDS status and sexual orientation.
