This secondary data analysis aimed to estimate the prevalence of same-sex behavior and sexual and health-related practices of a population-based sample (n=560) of women aged 16-64 years in Puerto Rico (PR). Data collection included interviews and biologic samples. Seven percent of the sample had had sex with other women (WSW). Age-adjusted logistic regression models indicated that WSW had higher odds of history of cancer, having ≥ 7 lifetime sexual partners, using sex toys and sharing them, and use of tobacco and illicit drugs. Future research is needed to address the health needs of WSW, including cancer-related risk factors and sexual practices.
这项二次数据分析旨在估计波多黎各(PR)16至64岁女性的基于人群样本(n = 560)中的同性性行为以及与性和健康相关行为的流行率。数据收集包括访谈和生物样本。7%的样本曾与其他女性发生性行为(WSW)。年龄调整后的逻辑回归模型表明,与其他女性发生性行为者患癌症史、终身有≥7个性伴侣、使用和共享性玩具以及使用烟草和非法药物的几率更高。需要开展进一步研究以满足与其他女性发生性行为者的健康需求,包括与癌症相关的风险因素和性行为。
