TL;DR
Participants' sexual histories and behavior emphasize the need for concern regarding AIDS risk in this population of sexually active, adolescent girls and programs aimed at AIDS prevention among urban minority adolescents need to be cognizant of the larger personal and sociocultural context.
Abstract
Participants' sexual histories and behavior emphasize the need for concern regarding AIDS risk in this population. Patterns of sexual behavior and beliefs regarding committed relationships raise challenging questions regarding how to motivate sexually active members of this population to use condoms more frequently. Programs aimed at AIDS prevention among urban minority adolescents need to be cognizant of the larger personal and sociocultural context in which these teenagers are making health-behavior choices.
