摘要: The role that environmental factors play in driving HIV and STI transmission risk among street-involved youth has not been well examined. We examined associated with number of sex partners using quasi-Poisson regression consistent condom use logistic participants enroled the At Risk Youth Study (ARYS). Among 529 participants, 253 (47.8%) reported multiple while only 127 (24.0%) past 6 months. Homelessness was inversely (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=0.47, p=0.008), unstable housing positively greater numbers incidence rate [aIRR]=1.44, p=0.010). These findings indicate need for interventions which modify drive young populations.
