We explored psychosocial correlates of sexual risk among heterosexual and sexual minority youths (SMYs) in Johannesburg, South Africa. Young people 16 to 18 years old (n = 822) were administered surveys assessing demographic characteristics, sexual behaviors, mental health, and parent-child communication. Adjusted multivariate regressions examining correlates of sexual risk revealed that SMYs had more sexual partners than heterosexual youths (B = 3.90; SE = 0.95; P < .001) and were more likely to engage in sex trading (OR = 3.11; CI = 1.12-8.62; P < .05). South African SMYs are at increased risk relative to their heterosexual peers.
我们探究了南非约翰内斯堡的异性恋和性少数青少年（SMY）的性风险的心理社会相关因素。对 16 至 18 岁的年轻人（n = 822）进行了调查，评估了人口统计学特征、性行为、心理健康和亲子沟通。调整后的多元回归分析显示，SMY 比异性恋青年有更多的性伴侣（B = 3.90；SE = 0.95；P <.001），并且更有可能从事性交易（OR = 3.11；CI = 1.12-8.62；P <.05）。与他们的异性恋同龄人相比，南非的性少数青少年处于更高的风险之中。
