Norplant is highly effective for long-term pregnancy prevention. Norplant users might not use condoms, and they may acquire human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases as a consequence.
The goal of this study was to assess condom use among Norplant users at risk for sexually transmitted diseases.
Telephone interviews were conducted with 177 sexually active Norplant users to measure risk for sexually transmitted disease and condom use.
According to the measures used in this study, 42% of the study subjects were at risk for sexually transmitted disease and 38% of those at highest risk did not use condoms.
Intervention to protect Norplant users from sexually transmitted disease is indicated.
诺普兰长效避孕针在长期预防妊娠方面效果显著。使用诺普兰的女性可能不再使用避孕套,因而可能感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)及其他性传播疾病。
本研究旨在评估有感染性传播疾病风险的诺普兰使用者的避孕套使用情况。
对177名有性行为的诺普兰使用者进行电话访谈,以评估其感染性传播疾病的风险及避孕套使用情况。
根据本研究采用的评估方法,42%的研究对象有感染性传播疾病的风险,其中风险最高的人群中有38%未使用避孕套。
有必要采取干预措施,保护使用诺普兰的女性预防感染性传播疾病。
