OBJECTIVE
To examine the contribution of patterns of sexual partnering to the spread of HIV/STD infection between communities.
METHODS
651 randomly selected Aboriginals from 11 reserve communities in Ontario were interviewed. This analysis included those who had sex in the previous 12 months. Descriptive statistics and multivariate analyses identified associations with patterns of sexual partnering.
RESULTS
22% reported having partners from both within and outside the community, 51% from within only, and 27% from outside only. Those with partners from both within and outside were more likely to be male, unmarried, from a remote community, have more sexual partners and perceive that their behaviour placed them at higher risk of HIV/STD infection. They were least likely to perceive their community to be at risk from their behaviour.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings suggest that Aboriginal communities are not insulated and that HIV could spread rapidly if introduced.
目的
研究性伴侣模式对社区间艾滋病毒/性传播感染传播的影响。
方法
对安大略省11个保留地社区随机抽取的651名原住民进行访谈。该分析纳入了在过去12个月内有过性行为的人群。描述性统计和多变量分析确定了与性伴侣模式的关联。
结果
22%的人报告称其伴侣既有社区内的也有社区外的，51%的人只有社区内的伴侣，27%的人只有社区外的伴侣。既有社区内伴侣又有社区外伴侣的人更可能为男性、未婚、来自偏远社区、有更多性伴侣，并认为其行为使他们感染艾滋病毒/性传播感染的风险更高。他们最不可能认为其行为会使所在社区面临风险。
结论
研究结果表明，原住民社区并非与世隔绝，如果艾滋病毒传入，可能会迅速传播。
