最近的报告表明，饮酒与性行为（例如无保护性交）有关，而性行为是感染艾滋病毒的高风险。 然而，大多数这些研究都是从方便样本中收集数据，使用不同特异性的测量方法。 本文描述了一项旨在调查成年人代表性样本中饮酒与不安全性行为之间关系的研究。 作为对美国 48 个邻近地区成人家庭人口的多阶段区域概率样本调查的一部分，我们从 2058 名受访者那里收集了数据。 访谈工具包括酒精使用、性活动和安全套使用的测量。 逻辑回归分析显示，酗酒者更有可能性活跃，如果性活跃，则更有可能在上一年拥有多个性伴侣。 然而，饮酒变量一般与安全套的使用没有显着相关。 这些结果表明，饮酒可能与生活方式变量（一般性活动和性伴侣数量）的相关性比与安全套使用等更具体的行为变量的相关性更强。 由于这些数据是相关的，因此研究结果也与包括饮酒和性活动在内的冒险或寻求感觉活动的一般概念相一致。
Recent reports have indicated that the use of alcohol is related to sexual behavior (such as unprotected intercourse) that is high-risk for HIV infection. However, most of these studies have collected data from convenience samples, using measures of varying specificity. This paper describes a study designed to investigate the relationship of alcohol use to unsafe sexual activity in a representative sample of adults. Data were collected from 2058 respondents as part of a survey of a multi-stage area probability sample of the adult household population of the 48 contiguous United States. The interview instrument included measures of alcohol use, sexual activity and condom use. Logistic regression analyses showed that heavier drinkers were more likely to be sexually active, and if sexually active, were more likely to have had more than one sexual partner in the previous year. However, drinking variables were in general not significantly related to condom use. These results suggest that alcohol use may be more strongly related to lifestyle variables (general sexual activity and number of sexual partners) than to more concrete behavioral variables such as condom use. Because these data are correlational, the findings are also consistent with the notion of a general constellation of risk-taking or sensation-seeking activities that includes alcohol use and sexual activity.
