Abstract
This paper explores methodological issues associated with research on sexual behaviour and the risk of contracting HIV. Drawing on our own research we discuss the ways in which multiple modes of assessment can contribute to our understanding of HIV/AIDS. We demonstrate that different approaches (questionnaires and open-ended interviews) can provide complementary data. Our examples illustrate that apparent contradictions between responses to questionnaires and to interviews can be integrated, leading to a greater understanding of the relationship between knowledge about HIV/AIDS and sexual behaviour.
