The authors examined correlates of HIV seropositivity in a sample of dually diagnosed inpatients. The subjects were 147 consecutively admitted patients to a specialized dual-diagnosis unit in a municipal hospital who were given a structured interview and HIV testing. The HIV seroprevalence was 19%, with women having a nearly fourfold increased risk of being HIV seropositive, as compared with men. Cocaine as drug of choice was also highly significant as a risk factor for HIV infection, independent of gender. This finding suggests that targeted prevention and education programs need to be developed for the dually diagnosed patient.
作者在一组双重诊断的住院患者样本中研究了HIV血清阳性的相关因素。研究对象为一家市立医院专门的双重诊断科室连续收治的147名患者，这些患者均接受了结构化访谈和HIV检测。HIV血清阳性率为19%，与男性相比，女性HIV血清阳性的风险增加了近四倍。可卡因作为首选毒品也是HIV感染的一个高度显著的风险因素，与性别无关。这一发现表明，需要为双重诊断的患者制定有针对性的预防和教育项目。
