Background Limited research has targeted HIV risk among heterosexual African-American men in the rural south-eastern United States.
A cross-sectional survey was administered to 538 men to assess HIV knowledge, attitudes towards HIV testing and sexual risk behaviour.
Fifty-one percent reported consistent condom use in the past 3 months. Monogamous men reported more consistent condom use (t=3.47, d.f.=536, P<0.001). In concurrent partnerships, condom use was inversely related to age (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=0.98, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.95-0.998, P=0.03) and increased with the number of female partners (AOR=1.49, 95% CI=1.26-1.76, P<0.001).
African-American HIV prevention outreach should include focus on concurrent partnering in rural settings.
背景:针对美国东南部农村地区异性恋非裔美国男性的艾滋病毒风险的研究有限。
对538名男性进行了横断面调查,以评估艾滋病毒知识、对艾滋病毒检测的态度和性风险行为。
51%的人报告在过去3个月中始终坚持使用避孕套。一夫一妻制的男性报告更始终如一地使用避孕套(t=3.47,自由度=536,P<0.001)。在同时存在的性伴侣关系中,避孕套的使用与年龄呈负相关(调整后的优势比(AOR)=0.98,95%置信区间(CI)=0.95 - 0.998,P=0.03),并且随着女性伴侣数量的增加而增加(AOR=1.49,95%CI=1.26 - 1.76,P<0.001)。
非裔美国人的艾滋病毒预防宣传应包括关注农村地区同时存在的性伴侣关系。
