The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between HIV testing practices and history of substance use among a large sample of women living in public housing in Puerto Rico and the relationships among HIV testing and history of substance abuse. A total of 1138 women were surveyed between April and August 2006 using a self-administered survey instrument. A total of 82% of the women in the sample group reported a history of HIV testing. Logistic regression analysis revealed that those with a history of alcohol use, marijuana use, and other illicit drug use were more likely to report a history of HIV testing (P < .05). These findings suggest the possibility that women who engage in riskier behaviors may be aware of these risks and therefore make more of an effort to determine their status. Future studies should, however, further examine the risks among women from subpopulations who may be at high risk for HIV.
本研究的目的是在波多黎各公共住房居住的大量女性样本中，考察艾滋病毒检测行为与物质使用史之间的关系，以及艾滋病毒检测与药物滥用史之间的关系。2006年4月至8月期间，使用自填式调查问卷对1138名女性进行了调查。样本组中共有82%的女性报告有艾滋病毒检测史。逻辑回归分析显示，有饮酒史、吸食大麻史和其他非法药物使用史的女性更有可能报告有艾滋病毒检测史（P < 0.05）。这些发现表明，从事风险行为的女性可能意识到这些风险，因此会更加努力地确定自己的感染状况。然而，未来的研究应进一步考察可能处于艾滋病毒高风险的亚人群中女性的风险。
