A Nationally Representative Analysis of Substance Use and Sexual Health Correlates Associated with HIV and STI Testing among Adolescents.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adolescents in the United States (US) continue to be disproportionately impacted by HIV and STIs. We investigated the associations between sexual health and substance use behaviors with HIV and STI testing among high school students in the US. Cross-sectional weighted stepwise multivariate logistic regression models were conducted to determine the odds of lifetime HIV and STI testing among students, stratified by sex. Drugs and alcohol before sex, condom use during sex, number of sex partners, sex of sexual partners, substance use (e-cigarette, alcohol, and cannabis) frequency, lifetime cocaine use, and lifetime prescription drug misuse were predictors, adjusting for race/ethnicity and age. This analysis used the 2019 and 2021 cycles of the CDC Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System (YRBSS) data. Our sample of adolescents (n = 30,909) had a mean age of 16; 51% were male. Females engaging in substance use had increased odds of HIV and STI testing whereas that pattern did not reflect among males. Multiracial male adolescents had increased odds of HIV testing. Females engaging in condomless sex had lower odds of HIV and STI testing. This study highlights the need for tailored HIV and STI testing promotion and ongoing efforts for dismantling barriers to testing services. Furthermore, our study suggests that screenings follow the concurrent nature of sexual health and substance use behaviors of adolescents for integrated HIV/STI testing.
