Mothers play an important role in promoting the sexual health of their adolescent children. Fifty-seven HIV-positive mothers with adolescent children participated in an in-depth, qualitative interview regarding whether they have talked to their children about safer sex and STD prevention, including at what age they began such discussions, and what messages they gave to their children. The majority of mothers (95%) had talked with their child about safer sex; some began such discussions when the children were as young as 6 years old, but most began when the children were around 12 years old. Mothers' messages fell into the following areas: (1) protecting oneself from STDs; (2) giving factual information regarding STDs, including HIV; (3) avoiding pregnancy; (4) empowering and respecting oneself; and (5) communicating with sexual partners. The mothers' own HIV status impacted the discussions with their children. Content of mothers' messages, child reactions, and child outcomes are discussed.
母亲在促进青春期子女的性健康方面发挥着重要作用。57位有青春期子女的艾滋病毒呈阳性母亲参与了一项深入的定性访谈，内容涉及她们是否与子女谈论过安全性行为和性传播疾病预防，包括她们从什么年龄开始此类讨论，以及她们向子女传达了什么信息。大多数母亲（95%）与孩子谈论过安全性行为；一些母亲在孩子年仅6岁时就开始此类讨论，但大多数是在孩子12岁左右开始的。母亲传达的信息分为以下几个方面：（1）预防感染性传播疾病；（2）提供有关性传播疾病（包括艾滋病毒）的事实信息；（3）避免怀孕；（4）增强自我权能和自尊；（5）与性伴侣沟通。母亲自身的艾滋病毒感染状况影响了与子女的讨论。文中讨论了母亲传达信息的内容、孩子的反应以及孩子的结果。
