Alcohol and Drug Use during Sexual Activity

Predicting the HIV-Risk-Related Behaviors of Inner-City Black Male Adolescents

The relation of alcohol and drug use during sexual activity to increased HIV risk-associated behavior was examined among 108 inner-city Black male adolescents who completed a self-administered questionnaire. Adolescents who reported a greater number of days in which they had sex while "high" reported more unprotected coitus, a greater number of coital partners, a greater number of risky coital partners, and more frequent insertive anal intercourse than did those who reported fewer days on which they had sex while high. For the most part, these relations remained significant when total frequency of sexY, a correlate of having sex while high, was included in the regression equation. The only exception was failure to use condoms. These results support the view that alcohol and drug use during sexual activity may affect the nature of the sexual behavior in which Black male adolescents engage, although it may not affect whether they use condoms.
