Abstract

This study examines the effects of orphanhood status on the timing of first sexual intercourse among youth in Malawi Lognormal models were applied to survey data collected between May and August 2009 from 1214 adolescents aged 12–18 in Mzuzu Northern Malawi Results of this study show that orphanhood is a significant predictor of age at first sex Male double orphans experienced first sexual intercourse earlier than their male nonorphan peers Similarly female maternal and paternal orphans had their sexual debut faster than their nonorphan counterparts The introduction of social support variables accounted for the orphanhood disadvantage These findings suggest that in order to delay sexual initiation and reduce HIV risk among orphans in Malawi policy efforts should focus on enhancing factual knowledge about HIV/AIDS household food security social support and other measures that will strengthen existing social support networks and connectedness of surviving family membersEste estudio examina los efectos del primer encuentro sexual en jóvenes huérfanos en Malawi Modelos con distribución logarítmica normal fueron utilizados en los datos de este estudio colectados en el periodo de Mayo a Agosto de 2009 provenientes de 1214 adolescentes de 1218 años en Mzuzu al norte de Malawi Los resultados de este estudio demuestran que los datos provenientes de los huérfanos son significativos para la predicción de la edad del primer encuentro sexual Huérfanos masculinos de ambos padres experimentaron el primer encuentro sexual a una edad temprana comparado con sus contrapartes de la misma edad pero sin ser huérfanos De manera similar huérfanas de ambos padres tuvieron su primer encuentro sexual a una edad mas joven comparadas con las no huérfanas La aplicación de variables de soporte social pudieron explicar las desventajas de los huérfanos Los resultados anteriores sugieren que con el fin de retrasar el primer encuentro sexual y reducir el riesgo de contraer VIH entre huérfanos en Malawi la política a seguir consistiría en esfuerzos enfocados en incrementar el conocimiento sobre VIH/SIDA seguridad en alimentación domestica soporte social entre otras medidas las cuales reforzaran las redes existentes de soporte social y la conectividad de los miembros de familia
