While considerable attention has been paid to sexual behaviors among HIV high-risk populations in Africa, few studies have looked at the adolescent population. Using data from the 2004 National Survey of Adolescents in Uganda, logistic regression models were fitted to examine the odds that HIV/AIDS related knowledge and perceived risk of HIV infection are associated with condom use among adolescents. After including demographic measures, findings indicated that correct knowledge of condom use, as well as positive attitudes towards the use of condoms are associated with the likelihood that adolescents used condoms. Self assessment of the risk of HIV infection was not predictive of condom use, nor was knowing someone with AIDS. These findings further emphasize the need to encourage condom use and help protect adolescents at risk of HIV infection.
虽然非洲的艾滋病毒高危人群的性行为已受到相当多的关注，但针对青少年人群的研究却很少。利用乌干达2004年全国青少年调查的数据，采用逻辑回归模型来检验艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关知识以及感知到的艾滋病毒感染风险与青少年使用避孕套之间的关联几率。纳入人口统计学指标后，研究结果表明，正确的避孕套使用知识以及对使用避孕套的积极态度与青少年使用避孕套的可能性相关。对艾滋病毒感染风险的自我评估并不能预测避孕套的使用情况，认识艾滋病患者也不能。这些研究结果进一步强调了鼓励使用避孕套以及帮助保护有感染艾滋病毒风险的青少年的必要性。
