PURPOSE
To determine the HIV-related risk behaviors and STDs in a population of incarcerated adolescents in order to strategically target education and prevention efforts.
METHODS
A single point-in-time prevalence study based on an analysis of intake medical records of 1,215 incarcerated youth were analyzed for HIV risk behaviors and STD history.
RESULTS
Incarcerated adolescents report high rates of risk behaviors for HIV infection and STDs, with 75% reporting three or more sex partners, 25% never using condoms and 19% having a current diagnosis of at least one STD. Significantly more females than males reported a history of STDs and had higher rates of current diagnoses of chlamydia/non-gonococcal urethritis, trichomonas and gonorrhea.
CONCLUSIONS
Ethnic/racial and gender differences were found in risk behaviors for STDs among a sample of incarcerated adolescents.
目的
确定被监禁青少年人群中与艾滋病毒相关的风险行为和性传播感染情况，以便有针对性地开展教育和预防工作。
方法
基于对1215名被监禁青少年的入院病历分析进行单点患病率研究，分析其艾滋病毒风险行为和性传播感染病史。
结果
被监禁青少年报告的艾滋病毒感染和性传播感染风险行为发生率很高，75%的人报告有三个或更多性伴侣，25%的人从未使用过避孕套，19%的人目前被诊断患有至少一种性传播感染。报告有性传播感染病史的女性明显多于男性，且目前衣原体/非淋菌性尿道炎、滴虫和淋病的诊断率更高。
结论
在被监禁青少年样本中，性传播感染的风险行为存在种族/民族和性别差异。
