AB PURPOSE: To examine differences in the beliefs and behaviors of female
adolescents at varying degrees of probable risk for HIV transmission.
METHODS: A clinically-based, ethnically diverse sample of 696 sexually
active female adolescents was recruited from urban and suburban general
adolescent, family planning, and public health clinics. Subjects were
categorized into four risk status groups on the basis of their history
of IV drug use, sexually transmitted disease (STD), and probable risk of
contact with an infected individual (living in a high-risk geographic
location, sexual promiscuity, sex with male homo/bisexuals). RESULTS:
Females in the highest risk group showed high rates of substance use,
anal intercourse, and intentions to have future risky sexual partners. A
second high-risk group reported high rates of STDs, inconsistent condom
use, and less AIDS knowledge. CONCLUSION: Different subsets of higher
risk adolescents may require different intervention strategies.
