Many young adults, despite widespread prevention and education efforts that target this age group, engage in behaviors that place them at risk of HIV infection. These behaviors include frequent experimentation with alcohol and other drugs before sex, sexual activity with different partners, and inconsistent safe-sex practices. The combination of these risky behaviors causes increased concern about the spread of HIV among this age group. The study discussed in this article examined the relationship between substance use during adolescence and HIV risk behavior among young adults ages 19 to 21 with and without a college education. Results indicated that increased use of alcohol and marijuana at younger ages is related to riskier sexual activity and increased use of alcohol and marijuana as young adults. Recommendations for interventions are made.
尽管针对这一年龄段开展了广泛的预防和教育工作，但许多年轻人仍有感染艾滋病毒的风险行为。这些行为包括在性行为前频繁尝试饮酒和使用其他毒品、与不同伴侣进行性活动以及不坚持安全性行为。这些危险行为的综合作用导致人们对艾滋病毒在该年龄段传播的担忧加剧。本文所讨论的研究考察了19至21岁有或没有大学学历的年轻人在青少年时期使用毒品与艾滋病毒风险行为之间的关系。结果表明，年轻时饮酒和吸食大麻的增加与更危险的性活动以及成年后饮酒和吸食大麻的增加有关。文中还提出了干预建议。
