Now I want to ask you about how sure you are that you could do certain things. As I read each question, tell me which number on this card indicates how sure you are:
How sure are you that you could....
1. Talk about safe sex with a casual partner?
2. Buy condoms in a drug store?
3. Refuse to have sex with someone you don't know very well?
4. Use a condom correctly if your partner wanted to?
5. Refuse to shoot up drugs if your friends asked you to shoot with them?
6. Convince a partner that he or she should use a condom?
7. Prevent a partner from having anal sex with you?
8. Ask a partner about his or her other sexual partners?
9. Refuse to use a needle that had already been used by a friend?
