This study tested the association between mental health scores and sexual risk behaviors among male members of social groups known as "camps" in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Anxiety and depression were measured using the HSCL-25 and condom use and sexual partner concurrency were assessed through self-report. A total of 1113 sexually active men with an average age of 27 years were included in the analyses. Higher anxiety and depression scores were significantly associated with both condom use (Anxiety AOR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.44, 0.77; Depression AOR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.47, 0.77) and concurrency (Anxiety AOR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.73, 3.12; Depression AOR = 2.08, 95% CI: 1.60, 2.70). The results of this study provide information salient to the development of effective HIV prevention interventions targeting populations with high burdens of anxiety and depression. The feasibility and effect of integrating mental health promotion activities into HIV prevention interventions should be explored.
本研究测试了坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆被称为“营地”的社会群体中男性成员的心理健康得分与性风险行为之间的关联。使用HSCL - 25量表测量焦虑和抑郁情况,并通过自我报告评估避孕套使用情况和性伴侣并发情况。共有1113名平均年龄为27岁的性活跃男性纳入分析。较高的焦虑和抑郁得分与避孕套使用(焦虑调整后比值比[AOR]=0.58,95%置信区间[CI]:0.44,0.77;抑郁AOR = 0.60,95% CI:0.47,0.77)以及性伴侣并发情况(焦虑AOR = 2.32,95% CI:1.73,3.12;抑郁AOR = 2.08,95% CI:1.60,2.70)均显著相关。本研究结果为制定针对焦虑和抑郁负担较重人群的有效艾滋病毒预防干预措施提供了重要信息。应探索将心理健康促进活动纳入艾滋病毒预防干预措施的可行性和效果。
