Analysis of the influencing factors of sexual behaviour characteristics on HIV serocoversion among HIV couples
Objective To explore the influencing factors of sexual behaviour characteristics on HIV seroconversion among HIV couples in Ningxia.Methods Using the case-control design,a retrospective questionnaire was conducted among HIV sero-accordant spouses(case group)and HIV serodiscordant couples(control group)recruited from 5 cities and 19 counties in Ningxia.The contents of questionnaire contained the conjugal relationship,features of sexual behaviour,condom use and fertility aspirations.Results In the two types of families,good marital relationship was the risk factor of sexual transmission between AIDS spouses(OR =3.501,95%CI:1.742~7.037).Condom use was the protective factors for spousal sexual transmission of AIDS in families(OR = 0.513,95%CI:0.243~1.085;OR =0.208,95%CI:0.070~0.620).Civil servants,retirees,farmers,long card drivers,workers and unemployed cou-ples were the protective factors of sexual transmission between AIDS spouses(OR = 0.318,95%CI:0.148~0.684).Conclusion Farmers,long card drivers,workers and unemployed couples with good marital relationship,who do not use condoms or do not use condoms each time,are the key population to prevent the sexual transmission of AIDS between spouses.
