Abstract

Disclosure of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to sexual partners is critical to the prevention, treatment, and control of STIs. We examine personal intra and interpersonal influences on willingness to disclose STI status among college-aged men. Participants (n = 1064) were aged 17 to 24 years and recruited from a variety of university and community venues. Using independent-samples t test, Pearson χ test, and binary logistic regression, we examined the relationship between willingness to disclose an STI and intrapersonal and interpersonal factors, including age, masculinity values, interpersonal violence, partner cell phone monitoring, alcohol and/or drug use, condom use, number and characteristics of sex partners, and previous STI. Results reveal that among college-aged men, type of sex partner and masculinity values are significant variables in predicting whether or not an individual is willing to disclose. These data can inform STI control programs to more effectively address the complex issues associated with STI disclosure to sex partners.

摘要

向性伴侣披露性传播感染（STIs）对于性传播感染的预防、治疗和控制至关重要。我们研究了个人内部和人际因素对大学年龄男性披露性传播感染状况意愿的影响。参与者（n = 1064）年龄在17至24岁之间，从各种大学和社区场所招募。使用独立样本t检验、Pearson χ检验和二元逻辑回归，我们研究了披露性传播感染的意愿与个人内部和人际因素之间的关系，这些因素包括年龄、男性气质价值观、人际暴力、对伴侣手机的监控、酒精和/或药物使用、避孕套使用、性伴侣的数量和特征以及以前的性传播感染。结果显示，在大学年龄男性中，性伴侣类型和男性气质价值观是预测个人是否愿意披露的重要变量。这些数据可为性传播感染控制项目提供信息，以便更有效地解决与向性伴侣披露性传播感染相关的复杂问题。
