云南省陇川县HIV单阳夫妻流行病学调查

目的:了解云南省陇川县HIV单阳夫妻艾滋病流行病学特征。方法:于2009年6-8月对HIV单阳夫妻进行问卷调查,对HIV感染者进行CD4+T淋巴细胞计数检测。结果:截止2009年9月,陇川县共有HIV单阳夫妻440对,其中299对(68%)参加本次调查。HIV感染者年龄平均为37.36±8.78岁;HIV阴性配偶的平均年龄为35.92±9.63岁;多为少数民族、农民、小学文化程度。279对(93.31%)夫妻有子女。56.52%的HIV感染者和3.01%的HIV阴性配偶有吸毒史。所有HIV阴性配偶均知道其HIV阳性配偶的HIV感染状态。在知晓夫妻一方感染了HIV后,夫妻性行为频率减少或不再发生性行为的有144对(48.16%)。有274对(91.64%)夫妻在性行为中增加了安全套使用。40.47%的HIV感染者CD4+T淋巴细胞计数低于350个/μL。结论:陇川县HIV单阳夫妻中HIV感染状态知晓率高,其中近半数夫妻能减少夫妻性行为频率并增加安全套使用率。但仍有部分对象吸毒、夫妻间性行为频率较高且不能坚持使用安全套,需进一步加强相关行为干预,并对符合条件者及时纳入抗病毒治疗。
