The study explored patterns of risk behavior and knowledge about HIV and AIDS among patients in an inpatient psychiatric facility in south India. Fifty-nine consecutive patients admitted to a state psychiatric hospital were interviewed using a semistructured questionnaire. Fifty-one percent had a history of recent risk behavior, and 86 percent had inadequate knowledge about AIDS. The most common high-risk behavior was unprotected heterosexual intercourse with a high-risk partner. There was no correlation between knowledge and high-risk behavior. The findings underscore the need to specifically tailor intervention programs.
该研究探讨了印度南部一家住院精神科机构中患者的风险行为模式以及对艾滋病毒和艾滋病的认知情况。使用半结构化问卷对一家州立精神病医院连续收治的59名患者进行了访谈。51%的患者有近期风险行为史，86%的患者对艾滋病的认知不足。最常见的高风险行为是与高风险伴侣进行无保护的异性性行为。知识与高风险行为之间没有相关性。这些发现强调了专门制定干预项目的必要性。
