The purpose of this study is to determine the social
and social psychological factors that are
related to adherence to HIV medical
regimens and involvement in high-risk behaviors. The
ability of Agnew s general strain theory (GST) to
explain non-adherence and risky behaviors was
specifically tested. Adherence is crucial to
maintain low viral loads and prevent the development
of a drug resistant virus. Involvement in high-risk
behavior further complicates successful adherence to
medical regimes and the overall treatment of
HIV/AIDS. Specifically tested in this study was the
applicability of Agnew s (1992) GST in explaining
both medical and behavioral non-adherence to
treatment regimens in a Hispanic population residing
along the U.S.-Mexico International Border. While
not providing support for GST overall, findings do
suggest that key components of general strain theory
as well as other criminological theories including
social and self-control and differential association
may prove useful in furthering our understanding of
medical adherence and involvement in high-risk
behaviors.
