无保护的性交使大量青少年面临感染性传播疾病和人体免疫机能丧失病毒的危险。虽然预防性行为活跃的青少年感染性病/艾滋病毒的最有效手段是坚持使用避孕套，但对影响青少年坚持使用避孕套的因素知之甚少。这项针对青少年（n = 1049，平均年龄= 16.2岁）的研究发现，在266名最近开始性活跃的青少年中，只有29%的人报告说一直使用避孕套。在男性中，那些几乎没有危险行为史的人和那些在未来有更强烈的使用避孕套的意图的人更频繁地使用避孕套。对HIV的恐惧和焦虑、对HIV以外的风险的态度以及其他安全行为意向与安全套的持续使用没有显著相关。虽然意图和最近的行为显着相关，但发现了一组不同的因素来预测使用避孕套的意图（例如，对朋友使用避孕套的看法，一般的冲动态度）。识别和了解影响青少年性行为和意图的因素对于制定最有效的艾滋病毒教育/预防计划非常重要。
Unprotected sexual intercourse places a substantial number of adolescents at risk for sexually transmitted disease (STD) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. While the most effective means of preventing STD/HIV infection among sexually active adolescents is consistent condom use, little is known about the factors that influence their consistent use among adolescents. This study of adolescents (n = 1049, mean age = 16.2 years) found that of the 266 teens who recently became sexually active, only 29% reported using condoms consistently. Consistent condom use was more frequent in males, those with little history of risk behavior and those with stronger intentions to use condoms in the future. Fear and anxiety of HIV, attitudes about risks other than HIV, and other safe behavior intentions were not significantly related to consistent condom use. Although intentions and recent behavior were significantly related, a different group of factors was found to predict intention to use condoms (e.g., perception of condom use by friends, general impulsive attitudes). Identifying and understanding the factors that influence adolescent sexual behavior and intentions is important for developing maximally effective HIV education/prevention programs.
