审查预防青少年性传播艾滋病毒的知识现状，并强调现有的差距和未来研究的优先领域。艾滋病毒感染的不成比例的负担福尔斯在青少年身上，这是一个以独特的神经，生物和社会过渡为标志的发展阶段。成功的干预措施对于防止艾滋病毒在这一弱势群体中传播至关重要。我们通过提供成功干预措施和最佳实践的例子，并强调目前的研究差距，总结了青少年艾滋病预防的研究现状。青少年干预分为三个主要类别：生物医学，行为和结构。目前大多数研究都集中在个人行为的改变，而有前途的生物医学和结构性干预措施在很大程度上研究不足的青少年。综合预防干预措施可能对这一群体特别有价值。青少年在预防艾滋病毒方面有着独特的需要，因此，干预措施的设计应最有效地向这一群体提供与他们相关的信息和服务。
To review the current state of knowledge on the prevention of sexual transmission of HIV in adolescents and to highlight existing gaps and priority areas for future research. A disproportionate burden of HIV infections falls on adolescents, a developmental stage marked by unique neural, biological, and social transition. Successful interventions are critical to prevent the spread of HIV in this vulnerable population. We summarized the current state of research on HIV prevention in adolescents by providing examples of successful interventions and best practices, and highlighting current research gaps. Adolescent interventions fall into three main categories: biomedical, behavioral, and structural. The majority of current research has focused on individual behavior change, while promising biomedical and structural interventions have been largely understudied in adolescents. Combination prevention interventions may be particularly valuable to this group. Adolescents have unique needs with respect to HIV prevention and, thus, interventions should be designed to most effectively reach this population with information and services that will be relevant to them.
