This study looked at inmates' self-reported data on prior treatment for tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS risk among a sample of inmates in a medium security prison. Contingency tables were used and risk ratios were computed to provide an estimate of relative risk for inmates with a history of being treated for TB in opposition to inmates without a history of being treated for TB. Findings suggest that inmates who reported being treated for TB were more likely to have had sex with a man while in prison and to report that, while in prison, they had a main sex partner. They were also 1.15 times more likely to have had sex with a person from the transgender community while in prison and 2.53 times more likely to report having been forced to have sex while in prison than those without a past history of being treated for TB. Future studies should attempt to determine the extent to which having an infectious disease such as TB impacts behavioural change with respect to behaviours practised by inmates.
本研究调查了一所中等安全级别的监狱中部分囚犯自我报告的既往结核病（TB）治疗情况以及感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的风险。使用了列联表并计算了风险比率，以估计有结核病治疗史的囚犯相对于没有结核病治疗史的囚犯的相对风险。研究结果表明，报告接受过结核病治疗的囚犯在狱中与男性发生性行为以及报告在狱中拥有主要性伴侣的可能性更高。他们在狱中与跨性别群体的人发生性行为的可能性比没有结核病治疗史的人高1.15倍，在狱中报告曾被迫发生性行为的可能性比没有结核病治疗史的人高2.53倍。未来的研究应尝试确定诸如结核病等传染病在多大程度上影响囚犯行为方面的行为变化。
