“…Consistent with findings from previous studies, higher levels of depressive symptoms were associated with sexual risk behaviors (Bachanas et al, 2002). Lower levels of education attainment and income were associated with increased risk of buying sex, whereas higher levels of education attainment and income were associated with increased premarital sex.…”

Background-The migrant population in China is at high risk for sexual risk behavior and alcohol intoxication. Information about the prevalence of alcohol intoxication and its association with sexual risk behavior among migrants is needed for designing effective intervention prevention programs for reduction in alcohol abuse and HIV infection.Methods-Cross-sectional data were collected from 2153 sexually experienced young rural-tourban migrants in Beijing and Nanjing, China, in 2002.Results-Approximately one-third of the participants had been intoxicated with alcohol at least once during the previous month, with more males than females reporting intoxication (40.2% versus 23.7%, p < 0.001). Compared to non-intoxicated participants, respondents with alcohol intoxication in previous 30 days reported more psychological problems, including higher depression scores, lower levels of satisfaction with life and work, and higher perception of peer involvement in risk behavior. Intoxicated respondents were more likely to engage in premarital sex than non-intoxicated respondents (76% versus 60.2%, p < 0.001), have multiple sexual partners (13.4% versus 5.2%, p < 0.001), purchase sex (12.6% versus 4.9%, p < 0.001), and sell sex (10.1% versus 3.7%, p < 0.001). However, there was no association between alcohol intoxication and inconsistent/non-use of condoms. Multivariate analysis controlling for depression, peer risk involvement, age, gender, and other socio-demographic variables indicated that alcohol intoxication was independently correlated with premarital sex, multiple sexual partners, and buying and selling sex.Conclusions-Compared to the general Chinese population, levels of intoxication were elevated among Chinese rural-to-urban migrants. Alcohol intoxication was associated with sexual risk behaviors. HIV/AIDS prevention and intervention efforts should include components of alcohol use/ abuse prevention for an effective reduction of sexual risk among young rural-to-urban migrants in China.

“…Nessa população, os comportamentos freqüente-mente associados ao uso do álcool antes ou durante o ato sexual são: sexo casual, múltiplos parceiros e sexo sem preservativo. Esses fatores estão associados aos índices de contaminação de DST/HIV/Aids (Griffin et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2006;Bachanas et al, 2002;Diclemente et al, 2002;Malow et al, 2001). …”

“…Beginning of sexual activity may have a decisive impact on subsequent sexual activities of an individual, but also on other psychosocial aspects. In the medical literature on sexual behaviour, a primary focus has been on the debut of sexual intercourse because earlier initiation of sex is powerful predictor of HIV risk behaviour, sexuality transmitted infections, as well as early unintended pregnancy (1).…”

. In addition, a random representative sample of children attending 9th grade completed the questions related to sexual behaviour. A total of 4,804 boys and girls at the age of 15 years were included in the study. The chi-square test and analysis of variance were used for data assessment.Results: Experience with first sexual intercourse before 15 years was confirmed by 16% of boys and 19.4% of girls. Average age of coitarche in both sexes most often ranged between 14 and 15 years. Since 2006 boys had significantly lower age at coitarche. Only in 2010 the girls had first intercourse more frequently than boys. Since 2010 the number of Czech adolescents of both sexes having first intercourse before the age of 15 years has significantly increased. However, a rise in average age of coitarche over 15 years in both sexes occurred in 2014.Conclusions: The number of Czech children having a sexual intercourse before 15 years has significantly increased since 2010.
