The aim of this study was to analyze the differences in psychosocial risk variables for HIV as a function of sexual experience in an adolescent population. The study sample consisted of 846 adolescents of both sexes aged between 14 and 19 years. Participants responded to several questionnaires that assessed four psychosocial variables related to risk sexual behavior for HIV infection: 1) perception of peer group norms, 2) condom use self-efficacy, 3) attitudes towards condom use and 4) parental communication about sexuality, STIs, HIV and pregnancy. Participants in both groups with sexual experience (with and without penetration) reported better communication with their mothers on sexuality and scored higher in positive attitudes towards condom use than those in the group without sexual experience. The sexual experience with penetration group perceived more negative peer group norms related to safe sexual behavior than the group without sexual experience; the group without sexual experience had a higher perception of condom use self-efficacy than the sexual experience with penetration group.
本研究旨在分析青少年人群中,性经验对 HIV 相关心理社会风险变量的影响。研究样本由 846 名 14 至 19 岁的男女青少年组成。参与者回答了几个问卷,评估了与 HIV 感染风险性行为相关的四个心理社会变量:1)对同伴群体规范的认知,2)使用避孕套的自我效能,3)对使用避孕套的态度,4)与父母就性、性传播感染、HIV 和怀孕进行的沟通。有性经验(有和无实质性接触)的两组参与者与母亲在性方面的沟通更好,对使用避孕套持更积极态度的得分也高于无性经验组。有实质性接触性经验组对与安全性行为相关的负面同伴群体规范的认知高于无性经验组;无实质性接触性经验组对使用避孕套的自我效能感高于有实质性接触性经验组。
