Adolescents need information about sex-related topics in order to reduce risk behavior and engage in healthy sexual decision-making. Parents have the potential to be an important source of this information. Using the 2006-2010 and 2011-2013 National Survey of Family Growth, we examined associations between parent-adolescent communication before age 18 about sex-related topics and HIV testing among respondents aged 18-24 that ever had sexual intercourse (women = 3893; men = 3359). Analyses showed that for both men and women, discussing how to prevent HIV/AIDS and how to use a condom with a parent before age 18 were positively associated with HIV testing. Among women only, discussions about methods of birth control, where to get birth control, and STDs were positively associated with HIV testing. Developing strategies and interventions to facilitate parent-adolescent communication about sex-related topics, particularly HIV prevention and condom use, may be important to increase HIV testing among young women and men.
青少年需要有关性相关话题的信息，以便减少危险行为并做出健康的性决策。父母有可能成为这一信息的重要来源。利用2006 - 2010年和2011 - 2013年全国家庭成长调查，我们研究了18岁之前父母与青少年关于性相关话题的沟通与18 - 24岁有过性行为的受访者（女性 = 3893人；男性 = 3359人）进行HIV检测之间的关联。分析表明，对于男性和女性而言，18岁之前与父母讨论如何预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病以及如何使用避孕套与HIV检测呈正相关。仅在女性中，关于避孕方法、何处获取避孕措施以及性传播疾病的讨论与HIV检测呈正相关。制定策略和干预措施以促进父母与青少年就性相关话题进行沟通，特别是关于艾滋病毒预防和避孕套使用的沟通，对于增加年轻女性和男性的HIV检测可能很重要。
