  2. look into the independent relationship between HIV infection status and substance use among these young people;

In Mexico, alcohol use has steadily increased among youth over the last decade, prompting an investigation into the link between perceived availability of alcohol, heavy episodic drinking, and alcohol-related harms among 12-17-year-olds.
