内容：青年男子在成年后不太可能使用避孕套，感染艾滋病和其他性传播疾病的风险增加。方法：纵向数据从1988年，1990-1991年和1995年波的全国青少年男性调查被用来确定的信息来源，艾滋病和性病的1,290名青年男子，年龄在22-26岁。从四个主要来源的信息接收，每个来源所涵盖的主题和与获得更多信息相关的个人特征都进行了探索。22%的受访男性在过去一年中与健康提供者讨论了疾病预防主题，48%的人参加了讲座或阅读了小册子，51%的人与伴侣，朋友或家人交谈，96%的人从媒体上听说过艾滋病或性病（例如，电视广告、广播或杂志）。不包括媒体来源，30%的年轻男子报告说，在过去一年里没有得到性病或艾滋病预防信息。作为黑人或西班牙裔，在过去的一年里进行过体检或艾滋病检测，以及过去与父母或医疗保健提供者讨论过艾滋病或性病与获得更多信息有关。结论：虽然感染性病或艾滋病毒风险较高的年轻男子比其他年轻男子更有可能获得有关预防疾病的信息，与青少年相比，青年男子接受艾滋病或性传播疾病预防教育的可能性要小得多。需要针对年轻人开展更多的预防工作。
Context: As they reach adulthood, young men are less likely to use condoms and are at increased risk for exposure to AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Little is known about which prevention efforts reach men in their 20s.Methods: Longitudinal data from the 1988, 1990-1991 and 1995 waves of the National Survey of Adolescent Males are used to identify sources of information about AIDS and STDs among 1,290 young men aged 22-26. Information receipt from four main sources, the topics covered by each source and the personal characteristics associated with getting more information are all explored.Results: Twenty-two percent of men surveyed discussed disease prevention topics with a health provider in the last year, 48% attended a lecture or read a brochure, 51% spoke to a partner, friend or family member, and 96% heard about AIDS or STDs from the media (e.g., television advertisements, radio or magazine). Excluding media sources, 30% of young men reported getting no STD or AIDS prevention messages in the last year. Being black or Hispanic, having had a physical exam or an AIDS test in the last year, and having had discussions about AIDS or STDs with parents or a health care provider in the past were associated with receiving more information.Conclusions: Although young men who are at higher risk for STD or HIV infection are more likely than other young men to get information about disease prevention, young adult men are much less likely than adolescents to receive AIDS or STD prevention education. More prevention efforts need to be aimed at young adults.
