We examined prevalence and predictors of trauma among HIV-infected persons in the Deep South using data from the Coping with HIV/AIDS in the Southeast (CHASE) study. Over 50% of CHASE participants were abused during their lives, with approximately 30% experiencing abuse before age 13, regardless of gender. Caregiver characteristics were associated with childhood abuse. Abuse is related to increases in high-HIV-risk activities. The findings help explain why people engage in such high-risk activities and can provide guidance in designing improved care and prevention messages.
我们利用“应对东南部地区的艾滋病毒/艾滋病”（CHASE）研究的数据，调查了美国最南部地区艾滋病毒感染者中创伤事件的发生率及其预测因素。超过50%的CHASE研究参与者在其一生中遭受过虐待，无论性别，约30%的人在13岁之前就经历过虐待。照顾者的特征与儿童期虐待有关。虐待与高艾滋病毒风险活动的增加有关。这些研究结果有助于解释人们为何会从事此类高风险活动，并可为设计改进的护理和预防信息提供指导。
