尽管针对这一年龄组开展了广泛的预防和教育工作，但许多年轻人的行为仍使他们面临感染艾滋病毒的风险。这些行为包括在性行为前频繁尝试酒精和其他药物、与不同伴侣进行性活动以及不一致的安全性行为。这些危险行为的结合使人们更加关注艾滋病毒在这一年龄组中的传播。本文讨论的研究调查了19至21岁的年轻人中青少年时期物质使用与艾滋病毒风险行为之间的关系，其中有大学教育和没有大学教育。研究结果表明，年轻时增加使用酒精和大麻与风险较高的性活动以及年轻人增加使用酒精和大麻有关。提出了干预建议。
Many young adults, despite widespread prevention and education efforts that target this age group, engage in behaviors that place them at risk of HIV infection. These behaviors include frequent experimentation with alcohol and other drugs before sex, sexual activity with different partners, and inconsistent safe-sex practices. The combination of these risky behaviors causes increased concern about the spread of HIV among this age group. The study discussed in this article examined the relationship between substance use during adolescence and HIV risk behavior among young adults ages 19 to 21 with and without a college education. Results indicated that increased use of alcohol and marijuana at younger ages is related to riskier sexual activity and increased use of alcohol and marijuana as young adults. Recommendations for interventions are made.
