I used data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth to measure sexual orientation and viral sexually transmitted disease (STD) rates among US women aged 15 to 44 years. Sexual behavior and sexual identity data indicated that 1.3% to 1.9% of the women were lesbians and 3.1% to 4.8% were bisexual. Self-reported viral STD rates were significantly higher among bisexual women (15.0% to 17.2%) than among lesbians (2.3% to 6.7%). These findings support the need for STD prevention interventions that consider lesbians and bisexual women separately.
我使用了2002年全国家庭成长调查的数据，来衡量15至44岁美国女性的性取向和病毒性传播疾病（STD）发病率。性行为和性身份数据表明，1.3%至1.9%的女性为女同性恋者，3.1%至4.8%为双性恋者。自我报告的病毒性传播疾病发病率在双性恋女性中（15.0%至17.2%）显著高于女同性恋者（2.3%至6.7%）。这些发现支持了有必要分别针对女同性恋者和双性恋女性开展性传播疾病预防干预措施。
