Oregon Teens And
HIV Risk
Although five of the 1,537 AIDS
cases reported in Oregon have been in
teenagers, another 20 to 150 teens
may already be infected, according to
a report released today by the Oregon
Health Division. The report, “Oregon
Teens and HIV Risk: Implications for
AIDS Prevention,” explores the ex­
tent of HIV risk in Oregon young
people and makes recommendations
for HI V/AIDS risk prevention educa­
tion.
The report indicates that Oregon
teens are at higher risk of HIV infec-
tion than early statistics would indi­
cate. Analyzing other Oregon infor­
mation about teen HIV risk including
HIV infection rates, reports of sexu­
ally transmitted diseases (STDs), teen
pregnancy trends, and results of youth
risk behavior surveys, the report esti­
mates that the number of HIV-in-
fcctcd teens in the state may be four to
30 times greater than reported teen
AIDS cases, according to Claudia
Webster, Health Division HIV cduca-
tion manaeer.

will continue to be great competition
for the available high-skilled, high-
