艾滋病自愿咨询检测人群特征的病例对照研究

目的对主动参加艾滋病自愿咨询与检测（HIV Voluntary Counseling ＆ Tesing,VCT）人群的特征进行分析比较,了解其特点和规律,为今后改进VCT工作、更好地发挥其作用提供实践依据。方法以2006年1月至2008年12月,参加上海市原南汇区疾病预防控制中心VCT门诊的205名对象为病例组,以同期同地区报告的53名艾滋病病毒感染者/艾滋病病人（HIV/AIDS病人）为对照组,开展病例对照研究,比较两组人群的各种特征。结果 VCT人群中女性（χ2=13.70,P〈0.01）、高中以下学历（χ2=46.20,P〈0.01）和有注射吸毒史（χ2=17.35,P〈0.01）者所占的比例显著低于HIV/AIDS病人群。结论在女性、低学历和吸毒人群中,深入加强艾滋病自愿咨询与检测的宣传,对及早发现HIV/AIDS病人,更好地开展艾滋病防治工作具有十分重要的意义。
