We examined the relationship between sources of income and sex behaviors among a sample of low-income, sexually active women in Baltimore, MD (n = 517). Data were collected through interviews administered by a trained interviewer and audio computer-assisted self-interviewing (ACASI). The study assessed four categories of income: government payments, money from other people, selling items, and irregular jobs (i.e., odds jobs). Having multiple sex partners was associated with receiving income from other people [AOR: 2.60, 95% CI: 1.66-4.09], selling items [AOR: 2.67, 95% CI: 1.64-4.36], and irregular jobs [AOR: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.08, 2.29]. Women who exchanged sex were more likely to acquire income through these sources but less likely to receive government assistance [AOR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.39-0.97]. Sexual behaviors are associated with multiple sources of personal income. HIV prevention interventions should address the role that economic factors play in risk behaviors.
我们调查了马里兰州巴尔的摩市517名低收入、有性行为的女性样本中收入来源与性行为之间的关系。数据通过由经过培训的访谈员进行的访谈以及音频计算机辅助自我访谈（ACASI）收集。该研究评估了四类收入：政府补贴、他人给予的钱、售卖物品以及零工（即临时工作）。拥有多个性伴侣与从他人处获得收入相关[AOR：2.60，95%置信区间：1.66 - 4.09]、与售卖物品相关[AOR：2.67，95%置信区间：1.64 - 4.36]以及与零工相关[AOR：1.57，95%置信区间：1.08，2.29]。进行性交易的女性更有可能通过这些来源获得收入，但获得政府援助的可能性较小[AOR：0.62，95%置信区间：0.39 - 0.97]。性行为与多种个人收入来源相关。艾滋病预防干预措施应关注经济因素在风险行为中所起的作用。
