几十年来，研究注射吸毒者（IDUs）药物治疗的研究人员一直在努力确定最佳干预方式，以防止人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）在这一人群中的传播和扩散。虽然有效的降低艾滋病毒风险的干预措施是广泛可用的，问题仍然是什么具体因素是最相关的艾滋病毒风险行为，并定义为无保护的性活动和/或高风险的药物使用。本综述涉及的研究文献的评价，以更好地了解吸毒和性行为之间的关联首次对艾滋病毒的危险行为。研究结果表明，首次吸毒和首次性行为可能与随后的艾滋病毒危险行为有关。迄今为止的证据表明，在较早的年龄进行干预，以帮助青年避免或推迟这些高风险行为，可能是减少随后的艾滋病毒风险的另一种手段。
Researchers examining injection drug users (IDUs) in drug treatment have been trying for decades to determine the optimal way to intervene to prevent the transmission and spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in this population. Although efficacious HIV risk reduction interventions are widely available, questions remain about what specific factors are most related to HIV risk behavior and defined as unprotected sexual activity and/or high risk drug use. This review involved an evaluation of the research literature in order to better understand the association between drug use and sexual behavior debut on HIV risk behavior. Findings suggest that drug use debut and sexual behavior debut may be related to subsequent HIV risk behavior. Evidence to date implies that intervening at an earlier age to assist youth to avoid or delay these high risk behaviors may be an additional means of reducing subsequent HIV risk.
