A hospital-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 705 HIV-positive individuals. The result showed that 24% of the participants reported unprotected intercourse in their most recent sexual episode. Nine percent of these events were with partners perceived to be HIV-negative and 39% with those of unknown HIV status. Protected sex at recent episode was independently associated with knowing a partner's HIV status, disclosing HIV status to a partner, receipt of antiretroviral treatment and perceiving HIV as less stigmatizing. This highlights the need for interventions among HIV-positive individuals that will assist them in attaining and maintaining safer sex practices.
在705名艾滋病毒呈阳性的个体中开展了一项基于医院的横断面调查。结果显示，24%的参与者报告在其最近一次性交中未采取保护措施。其中9%的性行为对象被认为是艾滋病毒阴性，39%的性行为对象艾滋病毒感染状况不明。最近一次性交时采取保护措施与了解性伴侣的艾滋病毒感染状况、向性伴侣披露自身艾滋病毒感染状况、接受抗逆转录病毒治疗以及认为艾滋病毒带来的污名较少独立相关。这凸显了对艾滋病毒呈阳性个体采取干预措施的必要性，这些措施将帮助他们实现并维持更安全的性行为。
