BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Increasingly, young people travel abroad to experience nightlife in international resorts. Although media coverage of such resorts suggests high levels of sexual activity, little empirical data are currently available. We have measured: 3 year trends in sexual behaviour of young people visiting Ibiza, levels of sexual risk taking, and their relation to substance use. Additionally, in 2002 we identified levels of homosexual sex and sexual interactions between UK residents and individuals from other countries.
Data were collected from visitors to Ibiza between 2000 and 2002 just before they left the island. Information on sexual health was surveyed using a short anonymous questionnaire.
Over half of individuals (56.0%) visiting Ibiza had sex with at least one person, with 26.2% of males and 14.5% of females having sex with more than one individual. However, of those arriving without sexual partners (75.5%) just under half (47.5%) have sex in Ibiza and most of these (62.4%) always used condoms. Having any sex abroad was associated with using illicit drugs and having more sexual partners in the 6 months before visiting Ibiza. However, having unprotected sex or sex with more than one person was associated with smoking as well as having higher numbers of sexual partners before their visit. Overall, 8.6% of individuals had sex with a non-UK resident in Ibiza although such individuals were no more likely to have sex without condoms.
Substantial numbers of individuals visiting international nightlife resorts have unprotected sex with people they meet while abroad. This poses an increasing threat to the sexual health of UK residents but as yet little attention has been paid to developing interventions that might reduce sexual risk taking among young people holidaying abroad.
背景/目的：越来越多的年轻人出国到国际度假胜地体验夜生活。尽管媒体对这类度假胜地的报道显示性行为频繁，但目前几乎没有实证数据。我们进行了以下测量：前往伊维萨岛的年轻人性行为的3年趋势、性风险行为水平及其与药物使用的关系。此外，在2002年，我们确定了英国居民与其他国家个人之间的同性性行为和性互动水平。
在2000年至2002年期间，在游客离开伊维萨岛之前收集数据。使用简短的匿名问卷对性健康信息进行调查。
超过一半（56.0%）前往伊维萨岛的人至少与一人发生过性行为，其中26.2%的男性和14.5%的女性与不止一人发生过性行为。然而，在没有性伴侣到达的人中（75.5%），不到一半（47.5%）在伊维萨岛发生了性行为，其中大多数（62.4%）总是使用避孕套。在国外发生性行为与在前往伊维萨岛前6个月使用非法药物以及有更多性伴侣有关。然而，无保护性行为或与不止一人发生性行为与吸烟以及在来访前有更多性伴侣有关。总体而言，8.6%的人在伊维萨岛与非英国居民发生过性行为，尽管这些人使用避孕套进行性行为的可能性并不更高。
大量前往国际夜生活度假胜地的人在国外与他们遇到的人进行无保护性行为。这对英国居民的性健康构成了日益严重的威胁，但迄今为止，对于开发可能减少在国外度假的年轻人性风险行为的干预措施几乎没有给予关注。
