Abstract

In the U.S., HIV transmission rates have increased among male-male sexual contacts. Sex education reduces HIV-related risks; yet impacts for adolescent sexual minority males (ASMM) are less known. Data from a sample (n = 556) of ASMM (aged 13-18) in three U.S cities were used to examined associations between HIV education in school and sexual behaviors. Outcomes of interest included: sexually transmitted infection (STI), multiple sex partners, and condomless anal intercourse (CAI) with a male (all past 12 months). Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Of 556 ASMM, 84% reported received HIV education. Among sexually active ASMM (n = 440) who received HIV education, fewer reported an STI (10% vs. 21%, aPR: 0.45, CI [0.26, 0.76]) and CAI (48% vs. 64%, aPR: 0.71, CI [0.58, 0.87]) than ASMM who did not receive HIV education. Protective effects of school HIV education on sexual behaviors are promising and suggest prevention education is vital to reducing HIV- and STI-related risks among ASMM.

青少年性行为少数群体男性中的艾滋病或 HIV 教育和性行为：2015 年美国 3 个城市的全国 HIV 行为监测》（National HIV Behavioral Surveillance, 3 U.S. Cities, 2015）。

在美国，男性-男性性接触中的 HIV 传播率有所上升。性教育可降低与 HIV 相关的风险；然而，性教育对青少年性少数群体男性（ASMM）的影响却鲜为人知。我们利用美国三个城市的性少数群体男性（13-18 岁）样本（n = 556）的数据，研究了学校中的 HIV 教育与性行为之间的关联。研究结果包括：性传播感染 (STI)、多个性伴侣和与男性无套肛交 (CAI)（均在过去 12 个月内）。计算了调整后的流行率 (aPR) 和 95% 的置信区间 (CI)。在 556 名 ASMM 中，84% 的人表示接受过 HIV 教育。在接受过 HIV 教育的性行为活跃的 ASMM（n = 440）中，报告性传播感染（10% 对 21%，aPR：0.45，CI [0.26，0.76]）和 CAI（48% 对 64%，aPR：0.71，CI [0.58，0.87]）的人数少于未接受过 HIV 教育的 ASMM。学校艾滋病教育对性行为的保护作用很有希望，这表明预防教育对降低艾滋病和性传播感染相关风险在 ASMM 中至关重要。
