METHODS:
RESULTS:
- Lesbian and bisexual adolescents reported significantly more lifetime and past-year sexual partners than heterosexual girls.
- Bisexual girls were also more likely to report penile-anal and penile-vaginal sex,
- whereas lesbians were more likely to report earlier sexual debut for almost all types of sex, as compared to heterosexual girls.
- Lesbians also were more likely to report infrequent condom use and less likely to have conversations with partners about the use of barriers (e.g., dental dams) before first sex.
- Relative to lesbians, bisexual girls reported older age at first sex for almost all sexual behaviors and higher lifetime prevalence of recent male partners, penile-vaginal, and penile-anal sex.
- Few differences were noted between QUO and heterosexual girls.
