Abstract

The government of Botswana has been spending a lot of money in the prevention, treatment, care and support for HIV/AIDS patient for decades. This paper uses data from the third Botswana AIDS Impact Survey (BAIS III) to explore high-risk behaviors of adults and how they affect government efforts to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. The objective of this paper is to fill in the gap on the assessment of high-risk behaviors associated with HIV/AIDS and their implications on HIV/AIDS prevention efforts. A nationally representative sample of 10,159 men and women aged 20-64 years who had successfully completed the BAIS III individual questionnaire were used in the study. Both descriptive and binary logistic regression analyses were used for analysis. Crude odds ratios were obtained from gross effects model while adjusted odds ratios (AOR) were obtained from the net effects model. Statistically significant association was observed between multiple current partners and alcohol consumption (AOR = 1.5), drug abuse (AOR = 1.7), transactional sex (AOR = 2.6) and intergenerational sex (AOR = 1.07). Furthermore, statistically significant association was seen for inconsistent condom use and having tested for HIV (AOR = 1.5). These results show a worrying tendency that despite government's efforts to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, adults in Botswana continue to indulge in high-risk behaviors. Therefore, any programs and policies on HIV/AIDS should first target these high-risk behaviors.

摘要

几十年来,博茨瓦纳政府一直在投入大量资金用于预防、治疗、护理和支持艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者。本文利用第三次博茨瓦纳艾滋病影响调查(BAIS III)的数据,探讨成年人的高危行为以及这些行为如何影响政府阻止艾滋病毒/艾滋病传播的努力。本文的目的是填补在评估与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关的高危行为及其对艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防工作的影响方面的空白。该研究使用了一个具有全国代表性的样本,包括10159名年龄在20至64岁之间且成功完成BAIS III个人问卷的男性和女性。研究采用了描述性分析和二元逻辑回归分析。粗比值比从总效应模型中获得,而调整后的比值比(AOR)从净效应模型中获得。在多个当前性伴侣与饮酒(AOR = 1.5)、药物滥用(AOR = 1.7)、交易性行为(AOR = 2.6)和代际性行为(AOR = 1.07)之间观察到具有统计学意义的关联。此外,在避孕套使用不一致与进行过艾滋病毒检测之间也观察到具有统计学意义的关联(AOR = 1.5)。这些结果显示出一种令人担忧的趋势,即尽管政府努力阻止艾滋病毒/艾滋病的传播,但博茨瓦纳的成年人仍继续沉溺于高危行为。因此,任何关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的项目和政策都应首先针对这些高危行为。
