Abstract

We studied reference to HIV in personal ads from 1986 to 1993 to assess knowledge of HIV serostatus as a criterion for selecting sex partners. Personals increased exponentially during 1986 to 1993. Men seeking men (MSM) were more likely (8%) to mention HIV than persons seeking other situations (0% to 1.6%). The proportion of personals mentioning HIV increased from 0.5% to 2.9% globally and from 1.9% to 12.2% for MSM (chi-square tests for trend; p < .001). Younger MSM mentioned HIV less often than MSM older than 35 years (odds ratio = .46; 95% confidence interval: 31 to .70). The increasing proportion of personals mentioning HIV suggests that serostatus is increasingly used as a criterion for partner selection, although most (84%) such ads concerned MSM. We discussed the implications of these findings for preventing sexual transmission of HIV.

摘要

我们研究了1986年至1993年个人征友广告中提及HIV的情况，以评估将HIV血清学状态作为选择性伴侣标准的知晓程度。1986年至1993年间，征友广告呈指数级增长。男同性恋者（MSM）提及HIV的可能性（8%）高于寻求其他情况的人（0%至1.6%）。提及HIV的征友广告比例在全球范围内从0.5%增至2.9%，在男同性恋者中从1.9%增至12.2%（趋势的卡方检验；p<0.001）。年轻男同性恋者提及HIV的频率低于35岁以上的男同性恋者（优势比=0.46；95%置信区间：0.31至0.70）。提及HIV的征友广告比例不断增加，这表明血清学状态越来越多地被用作伴侣选择标准，尽管此类广告大多（84%）涉及男同性恋者。我们讨论了这些发现对预防HIV性传播的意义。
