STD Prevention: Behavior Change

安全性行为-历史记载

现今所称的“安全性行为”的概念于1980年代早期由美国同性恋社团关注AIDS传播的同性恋医生提出。遵守“安全性行为”能够预防性传播疾病的感染，这已经在包括同性和异性的所有类型的性接触中得到证明。既然全球范围内*，每天有千百万例性接触发生，既然其中有越来越多的人冒着感染的危险，“安全性行为”仍然是当今最重要的预防AIDS的策略。

*据估计，全球范围内，每天有1.2亿次性交行为发生。

Safer Sex - Historical Notes

The concept of „safe sex“- now often called "safer sex“ - was developed in the early 1980s by gay physicians concerned about the spread of AIDS in the American gay community. Practicing “safer sex” can prevent infections with sexually transmitted diseases. This has proven true for all kinds of sexual contact, both homosexual and heterosexual. Since many millions of sexual contacts occur every day around the globe*, and since an increasing number of them carry the risk of infection, “safer sex” has remained the most important AIDS prevention strategy to this day.

* It is estimated that ca. 120 million acts of sexual intercourse take place every day around the world.
