摘要：

To identify correlates of sexual behaviors among Thai young adults between 18 and 24 years, the authors used a cross-sectional survey of 405 young adults from eight randomly selected Thai urban and rural vocational schools. The young adults completed self-report questionnaires. Logistic regressions were used to determine the correlates between a Thai young adult's ever having had sexual intercourse and the correlates of the number of sexual partners and consistent condom use among those who-Were sexually active. The independent variables were age, gender, socioeconomic status, geographic residence, parental residence, parental-young adult communication, HIV knowledge, and negotiation for safer sex. The results showed that geographic residence and negotiation for safer sex were related to a young adult's ever having had sexual intercourse; gender, HIV knowledge, and negotiation for safer sex were related to the number of sexual partners; and geographic residence was related to condom use. HIV prevention programs should incorporate HIV knowledge and negotiation skills for both genders and for all geographical areas.
