Racial and ethnic disparities exist in HIV seroconversion rates, with African American and Hispanic youth in the 13-19-year-old age group representing 61% and 21% of new AIDS cases, respectively. The aim of this study was to examine sexual and drug use behaviors among a sample of 138 African American and Cuban American juvenile offenders. Cuban American adolescents showed higher levels of unprotected sex, higher levels of sex while using drugs, and higher levels of drug/alcohol use in the three and six months prior to confinement. These differences may be explained by multiple factors, including differences in acculturation levels among the Cuban American adolescents, differences in health messages targeted at the two groups, and family mores and norms.
艾滋病毒血清转化率存在种族和族裔差异，在13至19岁年龄组中，非裔美国青年和西班牙裔青年分别占新增艾滋病病例的61%和21%。本研究的目的是调查138名非裔美国和古巴裔美国青少年罪犯样本中的性行为和吸毒行为。古巴裔美国青少年在监禁前的三个月和六个月中，表现出更高水平的无保护性行为、吸毒时的性行为以及更高水平的药物/酒精使用。这些差异可能由多种因素解释，包括古巴裔美国青少年文化适应水平的差异、针对这两组人群的健康信息差异以及家庭习俗和规范。
