Sexual behaviors and knowledge among PHIV-infected (PHIV<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>) adolescents in comparison with HIV-uninfected youths are not well understood and continue to be studied actively.<jats:italic>Objective<\/jats:italic>. To compare sexual behavior and sexual knowledge of PHIV<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>and HIV-uninfected adolescents at an urban, tertiary-care center in New Jersey.<jats:italic>Study Design<\/jats:italic>. Modified Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance questionnaire was administered to PHIV<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>and HIV-uninfected adolescents to assess and compare sexual behavior and knowledge over a 1-year-period.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Twenty-seven PHIV<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>and 100 HIV-uninfected adolescents were studied; 59% PHIV<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>and 52% HIV-uninfected adolescents were sexually active. A significantly higher proportion of PHIV<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>adolescents compared to HIV-uninfected adolescents reported \u22651 occasion of unprotected penetrative sex (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&lt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn mathvariant=\"normal\">0.0001<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>) and reported multiple (&gt;4) sexual partners (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn mathvariant=\"normal\">0.037<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>). Significantly more PHIV<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>males reported receptive anal intercourse (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M3\"><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&lt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn mathvariant=\"normal\">0.001<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>). About 1\/3 of adolescents in both groups were unaware that sexual abstinence can prevent HIV transmission and &gt;80% adolescents in both groups did not consider multiple sexual partners a risk factor for HIV transmission. Only 25% PHIV<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>adolescents reported disclosing their seropositive status to their first sexual partners.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. High risk sexual behaviors were significantly more prevalent among PHIV<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>youths; however both groups demonstrated considerable gaps in sexual knowledge. There is an urgent need for heightening awareness about risky behaviors, interventions for prevention, and reproductive health promotion among adolescents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/7098027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,10]],"date-time":"2016-08-10T17:04:03Z","timestamp":1470848643000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Sexual Behavior and Knowledge among Adolescents with Perinatally Acquired Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection Compared to HIV-Uninfected Adolescents at an Urban Tertiary Center in New Jersey"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2698-4151","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ashlesha","family":"Kaushik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, St. Joseph\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital, 703 Main Street, Paterson, NJ 07503, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carol","family":"Pineda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, St. Joseph\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital, 703 Main Street, Paterson, NJ 07503, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Kest","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, St. Joseph\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital, 703 Main Street, Paterson, NJ 07503, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2","first-page":"1","volume":"57","year":"2008","journal-title":"Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report"},{"key":"3","series-title":"CDC HIV Surveillance Report","year":"2014"},{"key":"4","year":"2015"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cis816"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/INF.0b013e3182326779"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2005.06.015"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/QAI.0b013e3181f0ccb6"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/apc.2012.0290"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00224499.2011.598248"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jpepsy\/jsu103"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/apc.2011.0025"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/apc.2012.0005"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/chi.0b013e3181a81346"},{"key":"15","year":"2002"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Reproductive Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijrmed\/2016\/7098027.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijrmed\/2016\/7098027.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijrmed\/2016\/7098027.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,18]],"date-time":"2016-08-18T20:12:32Z","timestamp":1471551152000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijrmed\/2016\/7098027\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"references-count":14,"alternative-id":["7098027","7098027"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2016\/7098027","relation":{},"ISSN":["2356-7104","2314-5757"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2356-7104","type":"print"},{"value":"2314-5757","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}}}
