我们评估了男性危险行为与性传播感染（STI）之间的关系。我们从坦桑尼亚的莫希地区随机抽取了794名男性进行访谈。对血液和尿液样本进行了性传播感染检测。大约46%的男性至少对一种性传播感染检测呈阳性，包括人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV-1）、单纯疱疹病毒（HSV-2）、梅毒、衣原体、滴虫和支原体感染。多个性伴侣、随意性行为、酗酒和年龄较大与患性病的几率较高有关。在撒哈拉以南非洲地区，有效的性传播感染预防计划应该包括旨在解决男性可改变的风险行为的组成部分。
We assessed the association between risk behaviors and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among men. We interviewed 794 men randomly selected from Moshi district of Tanzania. Blood and urine samples were tested for STIs. About 46% of the men tested positive for at least one STI including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), herpes simplex virus (HSV-2), syphilis, chlamydia, trichomonas, and mycoplasma infection. Multiple sexual partners, casual sex, alcohol abuse, and older age were associated with higher odds of having an STI. Effective STI prevention programs in sub-Saharan Africa should have components aimed at addressing modifiable risk behaviors in men.
