性传播疾病的预防：行为的改变   STD Prevention: Behavior Change

安全性行为

节欲教育可以保护许多人不感染性传播疾病和防止非意愿怀孕，但是，作为行为改变的一般策略，它在阻止AIDS的大范围流行方面是远远不够的。所以，现在需要我们做出的选择应该是特别地关注：安全性行为。

本节讨论安全性行为的概念是怎样演化的，它是怎样的方法和怎样延伸以适合不同的环境，以及，当今怎样让它在多样化的文化和亚文化里运用。最后，简要讨论因促进安全性行为所产生的各种问题。

Safer Sex

Abstinence education may protect many individuals from STDs and unwanted pregnancies, but as a general policy of behavior change it has proved insufficient to stop the AIDS pandemic. Therefore, the only remaining alternative now deserves special attention: Safer sex.

The following sections describe how the concept of safer sex evolved, how it
was and continues to be adapted to different circumstances, and how it can be implemented in various cultures and subcultures today. Finally, there is a brief discussion of the problems raised by the promotion of safer sex.
