Abstract

Conclusions: To the extent that incarceration is correlated with STD risk the presence of a large percentage of male sex partners with a history of incarceration suggests that improved screening and treatment of incarcerated adolescents and young adults could benefit the reproductive health of all youth in the community. The disproportionate rates of STDs among African American female adolescents cannot be explained by their rates of high-risk sexual behaviors. Geographic segregation and partner selection may be more important determinants of their STD risk. (excerpt)
