To analyse knowledge, attitudes and sexual practices on HIV/AIDS, and estimate HIV prevalence among residents of Sucre (Bolivia).
Population-based survey of residents aged 15-49 randomly selected during 2008/2009. Blood samples were collected on Whatman-filter paper and tested with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Knowledge on HIV/AIDS, sexual risk practices and discriminatory attitudes against people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) were modelled with multiple logistic regression.
Of 1499 subjects, 59% were women. All subjects were HIV-negative. Inadequate knowledge of HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention was observed in 67% and risk factors varied by gender (interaction p-value<0.05). Discriminatory attitudes were displayed by 85% subjects; associated factors were: rural residence, low educational level and low income. Unsafe sex was reported by 10%; risk factors varied by residence area (interaction p-value<0.05). In urban areas, risk factors were male sex, younger age and being in common-law union.
Prevalence of HIV infection is very low and unsafe sex is relatively uncommon. Inadequate knowledge on HIV/AIDS and discriminatory attitudes towards PLWHA are extremely high and are associated to gender, ethnic and economic inequalities.
分析关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的知识、态度和性行为,并估计苏克雷(玻利维亚)居民中的艾滋病毒流行率。
2008/2009年期间对15 - 49岁居民进行基于人群的随机抽样调查。在沃特曼滤纸上采集血样,并用酶联免疫吸附测定法进行检测。通过多元逻辑回归对艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识、性风险行为以及对艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者(PLWHA)的歧视态度进行建模。
1499名受试者中,59%为女性。所有受试者艾滋病毒检测均为阴性。67%的人对艾滋病毒/艾滋病传播和预防的知识掌握不足,且风险因素因性别而异(交互作用p值<0.05)。85%的受试者表现出歧视态度;相关因素包括:农村居住、低教育水平和低收入。10%的人报告有不安全的性行为;风险因素因居住地区而异(交互作用p值<0.05)。在城市地区,风险因素为男性、年轻和处于事实婚姻关系。
艾滋病毒感染率非常低,不安全的性行为相对不常见。对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的知识不足以及对艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的歧视态度极高,且与性别、种族和经济不平等相关。
