最近的报告表明，酒精或药物的使用与艾滋病毒感染高风险的性行为有关。如果药物使用导致不安全的性活动，了解这种关系的动态有助于研究和预防及教育工作，以遏制艾滋病的传播。在本文中，我们回顾了有关药物使用与高风险性行为之间关系的研究。然后，我们考虑用于研究这种关系的研究设计的固有局限性，概述了一些方法上的问题，包括测量和抽样问题，并评论相关研究结果的因果解释。最后，我们考虑未来研究的潜在途径，并讨论这些研究结果对当前艾滋病预防政策的影响。
Recent reports have suggested that the use of alcohol or drugs is related to sexual behavior that is high risk for HIV infection. If substance use leads to unsafe sexual activity, understanding the dynamics of this relationship can contribute to research and preventive and educational efforts to contain the spread of AIDS. In this article, we review research on the relationship between substance use and high-risk sexual behavior. We then consider the inherent limitations of the research designs used to study this relationship, outline some methodological concerns including measurement and sampling issues, and comment on causal interpretations of correlational research findings. We end with a consideration of potential avenues for future research and a discussion of implications of these findings for current AIDS prevention policies.
