Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the adolescent/young adult population of the United States is a serious, growing problem. The current HIV risk-reduction strategies for adolescents have been less than effective in stemming the tide of infection. This ineffectiveness can be linked to failure of making developmentally appropriate risk-reduction informational material and reliance on condom-based interventions, which have an unacceptably high failure rate. A critical analysis of current models of HIV-risk reduction should be undertaken to create more developmentally appropriate and effective methods.
在美国青少年/青年人群中，感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）是一个严重且日益严峻的问题。目前针对青少年的降低HIV风险策略在遏制感染浪潮方面成效欠佳。这种无效性可归因于未能制作适合其发育阶段的降低风险信息材料，以及依赖基于避孕套的干预措施，而后者的失败率高得令人难以接受。应该对当前降低HIV风险的模式进行批判性分析，以创造出更适合其发育阶段且有效的方法。
