目标。这项研究的目的是检查是否饮酒、吸烟；大麻、可卡因和其他非法药物与增加青少年感染人类免疫缺陷病毒 (HIV) 风险的性行为的可能性有关。方法。 1990 年全国青少年风险行为调查用于从美国 11631 名高中生的代表性样本中收集有关各种健康风险行为的自我报告信息。结果。报告没有使用药物的学生最不可能报告发生过性行为、有过四个或更多性伴侣以及在上次性行为中没有使用安全套。根据年龄、性别和种族/民族进行调整后，使用过大麻、可卡因或其他非法药物的学生中每种性危险行为的比值比最大。仅饮酒或吸烟的学生发生性行为以及拥有四个或更多性伴侣的可能性较小，但仍然显着增加。结论。针对青少年的艾滋病毒预防计划应认识到，物质使用与不安全的性行为有关，可能是艾滋病毒感染和获得性免疫缺陷综合症风险的重要指标。
Objectives. This study was undertaken to examine whether use of alcohol, cigarettes; marijuana, cocaine, and other illicit drugs is related to the likelihood of sexual behaviors that increase risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among youth.Methods. The 1990 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey was used to collect Self-reported information about a broad range of health risk behaviors from a representative sample of 11631 high school students in the United States.Results. Students who reported no substance use were least likely to report having had sexual intercourse, having had four or more sex partners, and not having used a condom at last sexual intercourse. Adjusted for age, sex, and race/ethnicity, odds ratios for each of these sexual risk behaviors were greatest among students who had used marijuana, cocaine, or other illicit drugs. Students who had used only alcohol or cigarettes had smaller but still significant increases in the likelihood of having had sexual intercourse and of having had four or more sex partners.Conclusions. HIV prevention programs for youth should recognize that substance use may be an important indicator of risk for HIV infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome through its association with unsafe sexual behaviors.
