The impact of premature frailty in HIV-infected individuals on the prevalence of sexual behaviors and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is unknown.
We compared these factors among individuals aged ≥ 18 years, who had prior determination of a frailty phenotype at the Washington University HIV Clinic between June and December 2008. All P values were 2-tailed and considered significant at <.05.
Of 445 individuals (71% male, 30% Caucasian, median age 43 years) assessed, the prevalence of frailty was 9%. Reports of recent sexual activity (44%) did not differ by frailty status. Consistent condom use (69% overall) was similar between sexually active frail and nonfrail individuals, and there was no significant difference in STI prevalence between groups (0 vs 32 [9%], P = .08).
In this relatively young population, frailty did not affect reports of recent sexual activity or consistent condom use and no significant difference in STI prevalence was observed.
HIV 感染者过早出现身体虚弱对性行为发生率和性传播感染(STIs)的影响尚不清楚。
我们比较了 2008 年 6 月至 12 月期间在华盛顿大学 HIV 诊所先前已确定虚弱表型的 18 岁及以上个体的这些因素。所有 P 值均为双侧,P<0.05 被视为具有统计学意义。
在评估的 445 名个体(71%为男性,30%为白种人,中位年龄 43 岁)中,虚弱的发生率为 9%。近期性活动报告(44%)在虚弱状态方面无差异。性活跃的虚弱个体和非虚弱个体之间一致使用避孕套的比例(总体为 69%)相似,且两组之间性传播感染的发生率无显著差异(0 例 vs 32 例[9%],P = 0.08)。
在这个相对年轻的人群中,虚弱并未影响近期性活动报告或一致使用避孕套的情况,且未观察到性传播感染发生率的显著差异。
