          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Estudar a relação entre o consumo de substâncias psicoativas e o comportamento sexual de estudantes de uma escola pública de segundo grau na cidade de São Paulo. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Foram colhidos 689 questionários, que foram respondidos por alunos com idades entre 13 e 21 anos. Os questionários continham questões sobre o consumo de substâncias psicoativas e comportamento sexual. Assim, comparou-se as diferenças de comportamento sexual entre os usuários e os não usuários de drogas. RESULTADOS: Os usuários de drogas ilícitas (n=366) referiram: maior história de relação sexual completa: 80,8% dos usuários contra 57,6% dos não usuários (n=305), (p< 0,001); início mais precoce da atividade sexual (média de 15,2 anos entre os usuários contra 15,7 anos dos não usuários, p<0,05); mais pagamento por sexo (31,1% entre os usuários contra 15% dos não usuários, p<0,001); e tendência a menor uso de preservativos (56,8% entre os usuários contra 65,3% dos não usuários, p<0,10). Estes resultados também se repetiram quando foi estudado cada tipo de droga separadamente e a associação de diferentes tipos de drogas. CONCLUSÕES: A freqüência de uso de drogas não alterou o comportamento sexual. As substâncias que apresentaram associação com mais comportamento sexual de risco foram o álcool e a maconha. O uso de crack esteve associado com início precoce de vida sexual.

          OBJECTIVE: Investigate the relationship between drug consumption and sexual behavior in a population of high school students attending a public school in the city of São Paulo. METHOD: Questionnaires (a total of 689) were gathered from students with ages between 14 and 21 years old who responded to this study. The questionnaires contained questions about the consumption of psychoative substances and sexual behavior. Then, sexual behavior was compared for differences between drug users and non-users. RESULTS: Illicit drug users (n=366) demonstrated a higher prevalence of complete sexual intercourse: 80,8% of users versus 57,6% of non-users (n=305), p<0,0001); earlier initiation of sexual activity (on average 15,2 years in users versus 15,7 in non-users, p<0,005); more payments for sexual acts (31,1% of users versus 15% of non-users, p<0,001); and a trend toward lesser usage of condoms (56,8% of users versus 65,3% of non-users, p<0,10). The results also were similar when we studied each type of drug separately and the associaton of different types of drugs. CONCLUSIONS: Frequency of drug use was not related to sexual behavior. Alcohol and cannabis were the drugs most associated with sexual risk behavior. Crack use was associated with earlier initiation of sexual activity.

            Alcohol, Drugs, and Adolescent Sexual Behavior

            In a 1990 Massachusetts-wide random digit-dial telephone survey of 16-19 year olds, 66% reported sexual intercourse of whom 64% had sex after drinking and 15% after other drug use. Thirty-seven percent always used condoms. Forty-nine percent were more likely to have sex if they and their partner had been drinking, and 17% used condoms less often after drinking. Fewer, 32%, said they would be more likely to have sex if they and their partner had used drugs, with 10% less likely to use condoms after drug use. Since so few adolescents consistently use condoms, the greatest risk for HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, and unwanted pregnancy is the increased likelihood of having sex after drinking or drug use, not the decreased likelihood of condom use after drinking and drug use.
