Abstract

Croatia has a low-level HIV epidemic and, as in a number of other Central and Southeastern European countries, sex between men accounts for most HIV infections. This study examines sexual behavior and the correlates of condom use in a snowball sample of 342 HIV non-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) in Zagreb. The median age of participants in the sample was 27 years. The majority of participants (81%) reported using condom at last anal sex with casual partner and 56% claimed to have used condoms consistently at anal sex with casual partners in the last 12 months. HIV risk self-assessment and number of sexual partners were significantly correlated with condom use at last anal sex with casual partner. Self-assessed HIV-risk and heterosexual activity were found associated with consistent condom use at anal sex with casual partners. To sustain a low-level HIV epidemic, targeted intervention among young MSM is needed in Croatia.

摘要

克罗地亚的艾滋病病毒疫情处于低水平，与其他一些中欧和东南欧国家一样，男性之间的性行为占大多数艾滋病病毒感染病例。本研究调查了萨格勒布342名未感染艾滋病病毒的男男性行为者（MSM）的雪球样本中的性行为及使用避孕套的相关因素。样本参与者的年龄中位数为27岁。大多数参与者（81%）报告称在与临时伴侣的最后一次肛交中使用了避孕套，56%的人声称在过去12个月中与临时伴侣肛交时一直使用避孕套。艾滋病病毒风险自我评估和性伴侣数量与与临时伴侣的最后一次肛交时使用避孕套显著相关。自我评估的艾滋病病毒风险和异性性行为与与临时伴侣肛交时持续使用避孕套有关。为维持低水平的艾滋病病毒疫情，克罗地亚需要对年轻男男性行为者进行有针对性的干预。
