 AB    This article explores how personal and environmental variables influence
       change in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related risk behaviors
       between adolescence and young adulthood. Repeated interviews with 602
       youths from 10 cities across the United States provide the data. These
       interviews first occurred in 1984-1985 and 1985-1986 when the youths
       were adolescents and were repeated again in 1989-1990 and 1991-1992 when
       they were all young adults. A longitudinal multivariate analysis shows
       that 31% of the variance in HIV risk behaviors by inner-city young
       adults is predicted by a combination of adolescent risk behaviors,
       personal variables (suicidality, substance misuse, antisocial behavior),
       environmental variables (history of child abuse, poor relations with
       parents, stressful events, peer misbehavior, number of AIDS prevention
       messages), and interactions between variables (number of neighborhood
       murders with child abuse, number of neighborhood murders with substance
       misuse, and unemployment rates with antisocial behavior).
