Among the many sub-Saharan African countries hardest hit by HIV/AIDS is the Kingdom of Swaziland. In an effort to reduce the spread of HIV, young people are an important group to reach with prevention messages. However, before developing such programmes, it is essential to understand young people's sexual risk behaviours. Students (n=941) from four coeducational secondary schools in Swaziland participated in a cross-sectional survey of sexual behaviours. Results indicate that considerable proportions of young people in this study were sexually experienced, irrespective of gender. Findings also suggest unacceptable high levels of sexual coercion, irrespective of age or gender. While boys may be less likely than girls to experience sexual coercion, being a male in this setting was not a protective factor. No significant differences were found on these variables in relation to location of the schools (rural vs. urban). Implications for developing and implementing HIV prevention programmes are suggested.
在受艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响最严重的撒哈拉以南非洲国家中，斯威士兰王国是其中之一。为了减少艾滋病毒的传播，年轻人是需要用预防信息来覆盖的一个重要群体。然而，在制定此类方案之前，了解年轻人的性风险行为至关重要。本研究对斯威士兰的四所男女同校的中学的 941 名学生进行了性行为的横断面调查。结果表明，研究中的相当一部分年轻人有过性经验，无论其性别如何。研究结果还表明，性胁迫程度高得令人无法接受，且无论年龄或性别如何。虽然男孩遭受性胁迫的可能性可能低于女孩，但在这种情况下，男性并不是一个保护因素。在学校的地理位置（农村与城市）方面，这些变量没有发现显著差异。提出了制定和实施艾滋病毒预防方案的相关建议。
