Drug use and HIV are key issues for public health interventions in the Philippines. We examined associations of problematic drug use among 320 Filipinx transgender women (trans-WSM) and cisgender men who have sex with men (cis-MSM). The prevalence of exhibited problematic drug use in this sample was 29.38%. Greater odds of problematic drug use were observed among Filipinx participants who recently engaged in sex work (adjusted OR [aOR] = 2.79, 95% CI [1.08, 7.18]), reported having HIV positive and unknown status vs. negative status (aOR = 3.61, 95% CI [1.39, 9.39], and aOR = 13.99, 95% CI [2.04, 29.69], respectively), exhibited low HIV knowledge (aOR = 4.15, 95% CI [1.82, 9.44]), and displayed hazardous drinking (aOR = 2.77, 95% CI [1.21, 6.33]). Given its correlates of HIV-related indicators, integration of HIV and harm reduction services as a public health intervention could potentially decrease problematic drug use.
药物使用和艾滋病病毒是菲律宾公共卫生干预的关键问题。我们研究了 320 名菲律宾跨性别女性(跨性别女性)和与男性发生性关系的顺性别男性(顺性别男性)中存在的药物使用问题之间的关联。该样本中表现出的药物使用问题的流行率为 29.38%。在最近从事性工作的菲律宾参与者中,药物使用问题的可能性更大(调整后的比值比 [aOR] = 2.79,95%置信区间 [1.08, 7.18]),报告 HIV 阳性和未知状态与阴性状态(aOR = 3.61,95%置信区间 [1.39, 9.39],和 aOR = 13.99,95%置信区间 [2.04, 29.69]),表现出低 HIV 知识(aOR = 4.15,95%置信区间 [1.82, 9.44]),和显示危险饮酒(aOR = 2.77,95%置信区间 [1.21, 6.33])。鉴于其与 HIV 相关指标的相关性,将 HIV 和减少伤害服务整合为公共卫生干预措施,可能会减少药物使用问题。
