Description
In North America, Aboriginal young people are over-represented in HIV and STI statistics. (1-5) In Canada in 2005, for example, Aboriginal people were 2.8 times more likely to be infected with HIV than other Canadians, and were infected at a younger age. (2,6) Both individual and contextual factors likely contribute to differences in HIV and STI prevalence. Aboriginal scholars underline the vital role of context in shaping individual behaviour, and point out that failing to consider historical and current inequalities could lead to pathologizing of Aboriginal peoples. (7,8) At the structural level, Aboriginal populations have lower incomes than other Canadians on average, (9) leave school earlier, (10) and have to cope with the legacy of colonialism and the destructive effects of this on family and community relationships. (7,11) At the level of individual sexual behaviour, Aboriginal young men and women are more likely than other Canadian young people to report: first sex at an earlier age, experience of sexual abuse and/or forced sex, higher numbers of lifetime sexual partners, and condom non-use at last sexual intercourse. (12-15)
