abstract
The research will address the causes of high risk sexual behavior using data collected from NHSLS and other previous research. Under consideration is whether groups who are in specific social settings are more or less likely to engage in high risk sexual behaviors such as young age at first intercourse and high numbers of sexual partners. The concept we want to explore is that differences in social background lead to variations in social bonds, which affects the likelihood of individuals to participate in high risk or non-conforming behaviors. With nearly 40 million people worldwide infected with AIDs, the continually decreasing age of first intercourse, and the continually growing number of youth with STDS, causes of high risk sexual behavior are becoming increasingly critical to understand. Much of previous research has attempted to understand the participation in high risk sexual behavior from an individual rational choice standpoint. This paper will attempt to demonstrate that social variables have a vital affect on the participation in high risk sexual behaviors. note
