“…33 In addition, as they get older, young people may become involved in more stable relationships where they come to trust their partner in a range of situations, and thus perceive less of a need to be concerned about STIs. 20 Most studies are also consistent in reporting more regular use of condoms by males than females 14,23,27,29,31,[33][34][35][36] and females, in turn, report a greater use of female contraceptives such as the contraceptive pill. 10,33,37 An underlying sense of invulnerability to STIs could play an influential contributory role in all of these associated factors.…”

Objective: Although sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are most prevalent among young people, they do not use condoms consistently to prevent infection. This study examined young people's perceptions of vulnerability to STIs and pregnancy. Method: A cross‐sectional survey on sexual behaviour was carried out on a stratified random sample of school‐going Year 12 and Year 13 young people aged 16–18 years in Christchurch, New Zealand. Results: 1,136 students participated in the study, half of whom were sexually active. Fewer than half of the sexually active participants (44.6%) used condoms on every occasion of sexual intercourse. Only 23% of participants reported that they felt vulnerable to acquiring an STI, with a quarter of respondents reporting not using condoms because they did not think that either they or their partner had an infection, and a quarter reported not using condoms because they used other contraceptive measures. Conclusions: The results of this study support the premise that young people are more concerned about preventing unwanted pregnancy than STIs. Their perception of low risk of acquiring STIs is not without substance, however, as it was established that there was a low prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis among this school‐going population. The key to achieving more consistent condom use for STI prevention for young people may be through finding ways to get them to accept that they are vulnerable to STIs, despite the low prevalence among their peers, because the consequences of infection are far‐reaching.

“…Birth control pills and withdrawal are probably most frequently used by Chinese young people to prevent pregnancy, especially when condoms are not readily available to them. Fifth, similar to the explanations of Western researchers (e.g., Civic, 2000;Hammer, Fisher, Fitzgerald, & Fisher, 1996;Zimmerman et al, 2007), who argue that trust, romance, and love rather than sexually transmitted diseases are the focus in close relationships, Chinese college students do not believe that unprotected sex with boyfriends or girlfriends is a risky behavior. No matter what the reasons may be, interventions to increase condom use among Chinese young adults are urgently needed.…”

A cross-sectional survey was conducted to test an integrated model of condom use with a sample of 490 sexually active Chinese college students. A number of variables in the integrated model were predictors of condom use, explaining 33.4% of the variance in use. Partner communication was the strongest predictors (β = .317, SE = .038, p < .001). Self-efficacy (β = .252, SE = .076, p < .001), positive attitudes (β = .150, SE = .060, p < .001), and social norms (β = .207, SE = .080, p < .001) were also significant predictors of condom use. Additionally, peer communication marginally significantly predicted condom use (β = .089, SE = .039, p = .055). This study provides evidence of the utility of the theories of reasoned action and planned behavior as an effective underlying theoretical framework for HIV prevention and safe sex intervention programs in a non-Western culture. The study also provides evidence that communication with sexual partners about condom use should be one of the most important factors to be considered in the development of HIV prevention and safer sex education programs for Chinese youth.

ÖzCinsel ilişkiler bireyin yaşamında ve gelişiminde önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Ancak güvenli olmayan yollardan girilen cinsel ilişkiler HIV gibi enfeksiyonlara yol açabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı HIV/AIDS riskini artıran cinsel davranışların gözden geçirilmesidir. HIV enfeksiyonu ve AIDS hastalık riskini artıran bu cinsel davranışlar: anal ilişki, tek gecelik cinsel ilişki, kondom kullanılmadan girilen cinsel ilişki, kendinden yaşça büyük birisiyle cinsel ilişkiye girme, aynı dönemde birden fazla kişiyle cinsel ilişkiye girme, ilişki öncesi ya da sırasında alkol ve diğer uyuşturucu maddeleri kullanma, küçük yaşta cinsel ilişkiye başlama olarak belirtilmiştir. İlişkiye girilen kişi sayısının artması, özellikle de aynı dönemde birden fazla kişi ile cinsel ilişkiye girme ve tek gecelik ilişkiler HIV enfeksiyonunun bulaşma olasılığını artırdığından, HIV/AIDS riskinden uzak kalmanın en etkili yöntemi cinsel geçmiş-leri bilinen partnerlerin yalnızca birbirleriyle ilişkiye girmeleri ve düzenli kondom kullanmalarıdır. AbstractSexual relations hold an important place in the life and development of the individual. However, it can cause health risks such as HIV infection without done the necessary protective measures. The purpose of this study is to review sexual behaviors which increase HIV infection and AIDS risk. This sexual behavior expressed as: anal sex, one-night stand, sex without condoms, sex with older persons, concurrent sexual relationships, using alcohol and illegal drugs before or during intercourse, and starting sex at an early age. Because HIV is likely to rise in accordance with the increase in the number of people the person had sexual intercourse, especially concurrent sexual behavior and one-night stand, the most effective way to stay away from HIV/AIDS risk is to have sexual intercourse only with stable partners who know each other's sexual history and use condoms regularly.
