This study examined the interaction of depressive symptoms and drug use on HIV/STI risk among sexual minority young adults. Analyses tested the interactive effect of depressive symptoms and drug use on unprotected sex. Among drug users, more depressive symptoms were associated with higher rates of unprotected sex with a male partner (for both male and female participants) but this was non-significant for non-users. Interventions with these groups should incorporate content on depression and drug use to reduce HIV/STI risk. Prevention efforts also should not neglect the vulnerability of young women that have sex with women and/or identify as non-heterosexual.
本研究考察了抑郁症状与药物使用对性少数年轻成年人感染艾滋病毒/性传播感染风险的相互作用。分析测试了抑郁症状与药物使用对无保护性行为的交互作用。在药物使用者中,更多的抑郁症状与与男性伴侣发生无保护性行为的较高发生率相关(男性和女性参与者均如此),但对于非药物使用者而言,这种关联并不显著。针对这些群体的干预措施应纳入有关抑郁和药物使用的内容,以降低感染艾滋病毒/性传播感染的风险。预防工作也不应忽视与女性发生性行为和/或自我认同为非异性恋的年轻女性的脆弱性。
