AbstractIntroductionSexual risk behavior in adolescents is a serious problem and is increasing in Indonesia. This study aimed to explain the relationship of parents’ communication patterns and peer-group interaction with sexual risk behavior in adolescents in Surabaya.MethodThis study used a cross-sectional design. The sample of 106 adolescents was obtained by cluster random sampling. The inclusion criteria were 15–18 years of age and those living with parents. Data were collected using parents’ communication pattern questionnaire, peer-group interaction questionnaire and sexual risk behavior questionnaire, and were then analyzed using Spearman’s rho statistical test.ResultsThere was a relationship between parents’ communication patterns (p = 0.000; r = –0.586) and peer-group interaction (p = 0.000; r = –0.565) with sexual risk behavior in adolescents.ConclusionOpen and two-way communication between parents and adolescents needs to be developed so that adolescents can develop good behavior. The development of a program to prevent sexual risk behavior needs to be done especially in adolescents’ peer groups to prevent the negative impact of peers in the spread of sexual content in adolescents in their groups.

Due to the global burden of HIV, a better understanding of the relationship between substance use and HIV risk behavior is a public health priority, particularly among populations with high rates of HIV infection. The current study explored the moderating effects of psychosocial factors on the relationship between substance use and sexual risk behavior. Among 480 black South African men who have sex with men recruited using respondent-driven sampling, a cross-sectional survey was conducted that included questions about their last sexual event that involved anal sex. Substance use was not associated with unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) ( P = 0.97). The effect of substance use on UAI was modified by safer sex intentions ( P = 0.001). Among those with higher safer sex intentions, substance use was positively associated with UAI (aOR = 5.8, 95%CI = 1.6–21.3, P < 0.01). This study found that among men who have sex with men with high intentions to engage in safer sex, substance use was associated with increased risky sexual behavior.

This study evaluated whether the association between substance use and sexual risk behavior varies as a function of age among 1,009 Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) in New York City. Hierarchical linear regression was used to examine the relationship between age (18–26 vs. 27+), substance use, and number of sexual partners and acts of condomless anal sex (CAS) in the past 90 days. Age moderated the relationship between substance use and sexual risk behavior, such that positive associations among binge drinking, marijuana, cocaine, and party drug use and number of male sexual partners and cocaine use and acts of CAS were significantly stronger among young adults than adults. BMSM may engage in more sexual risk behavior during young adulthood, and those who use substances may be at increased risk for HIV transmission—particularly through multiple sex partners. HIV prevention interventions targeting BMSM may benefit from being tailored to age and addressing sexual risk behavior and substance use concurrently.
