 AB    This article focuses on the use of alcohol and marijuana in the context
       of sexual relationships and the impact of these substances on the
       consistency of condom use by urban, minority youth. Regression models
       are presented to test for the effects of alcohol and marijuana use with
       sexual partners while controlling for the effects of respondents' sexual
       history. The results indicated that when alcohol or marijuana was used
       with a partner, the consistency of condom use decreased even when other
       variables related to sexual history were controlled for. Alcohol use had
       a greater negative effect on condom use for Hispanic men and marijuana
       for African-American women than it did for Hispanic women and
       African-American men. These findings argue for the need for targeted
       safer-sex intervention programs for urban, low-income, minority youth,
       and suggest that such programs may need to emphasize the increased risk
       of human immunodeficiency virus exposure that may result from substance
       use, casual sex, and sex with multiple partners.
