School-Based Interventions to Prevent Unprotected Sex and HIV among Adolescents

  • Chapter
Handbook of HIV Prevention

Part of the book series: Aids Prevention and Mental Health ((APMH))

Abstract

Throughout history some adolescents have engaged in sexual intercourse and contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or become pregnant. However, during the last century and especially during the last few decades, the average ages of menarche and spermarche have decreased and the average age of marriage has substantially increased, producing a gap between puberty and marriage of about 12 years for both males and females.1 With the increase in the puberty —marriage gap, and also with the advent of more reliable contraceptives and with changes in beliefs about premarital sex, an increasingly large percentage of adolescents have decided to engage in sex prior to marriage. They have begun having sex at an increasingly early age. With an increasing number of years of sexual activity prior to marriage, their number of sexual partners also have increased. All these trends have led to greater possible exposure to STDs.
