人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染的风险加剧了美国150万无家可归青少年本已困难的生活。无家可归的年轻人从事性行为和滥用药物的行为,使他们感染艾滋病毒的风险增加,他们表现出其他问题行为,减少他们的应对反应。需要在国家一级传播为无家可归青少年实施的艾滋病毒阳性青年预防艾滋病毒示范方案和干预措施。社会政策必须承认青少年有满足基本生存需要的权利;全面解决功能失调、被剥夺权利和单亲家庭的需要;并为青少年提供持续的照顾,以促进独立生活。在为同性恋、性虐待和滥用药物的青少年设计方案时,必须作出特别规定。
Risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection exacerbates the already difficult lives of 1.5 million homeless adolescents in the United States. Homeless youths engage in sexual and substance-abuse behaviors that place them at increased risk of contracting HIV, and they demonstrate other problem behaviors that reduce their coping responses. Model HIV prevention programs and interventions for HIV-positive youths, implemented for homeless adolescents, need to be disseminated on a national level. Social policies must recognize adolescents' rights to satisfaction of basic survival needs; comprehensively address the needs of dysfunctional, disenfranchised, and single-parent families; and provide continuity of care for adolescents to facilitate independent living. Special provisions must be made when designing programs for gay, sexually abused, and substance-abusing youths.
