The study examines the prevalence and factors associated with high-risk sexual behavior among sexually active young Indian men.
This study used samples of 14,584 men aged 15 to 29 from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), 2019-21.
14% of men engaged in early sexual debut (<18 years), 68% had unprotected sex, and 4% had multiple sexual partners in the past 12 months. Age, marital status, educational attainment, occupation, wealth quintile, alcohol consumption, internet use, media exposure, and region were significant predictors of risky sexual behavior.
We suggest a tailored approach for effective policy design considering risk factors of risky sexual behavior.
本研究调查了性活跃的印度年轻男性中高危性行为的流行情况及相关因素。
本研究使用了2019 - 2021年全国家庭健康调查（NFHS - 5）中14584名年龄在15至29岁之间男性的样本。
14%的男性初次性行为过早（<18岁），68%的人有过无保护性行为，4%的人在过去12个月内有多个性伴侣。年龄、婚姻状况、教育程度、职业、财富五分位数、饮酒情况、互联网使用、媒体接触和地区是危险性行为的重要预测因素。
我们建议在制定有效政策时，考虑危险性行为的风险因素，采取针对性的方法。
