目的：调查青少年多重感染及其接触者的流行病学。目的：展示性病/HIV流行的网络方法。研究设计：一项以社区为基础的具有民族志代表性的青少年网络研究。结果：在512名受访者中，90%的男孩和80%的女孩性生活活跃，有许多性伴侣，并表现出年龄匹配的混合。淋病、衣原体和HSV-2的流行率很高，但梅毒、丙型肝炎和艾滋病毒几乎没有。结论：细菌性传播疾病的存在而没有HIV、丙型肝炎病毒和梅毒的存在可能是没有注射毒品和不同年龄混合的结果。对多种疾病进行检测、对流行率进行网络评估以及纳入社会接触者可提高对性病流行病学的了解。
Objectives:To examine the epidemiology of multiple infections in teenagers and their contacts.Goal:To demonstrate a network approach to the prevalence of STDs/HIV.Study Design:A community-based network study of ethnographically representative adolescents.Results:Of the 512 interviewees, 90% of the boys and 80% of the girls were sexually active with many partners and exhibited age-assortative mixing. Prevalences of gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HSV-2 were high, but syphilis, Hepatitis C and HIV were virtually absent. The prevalence faced by subgroups differed from overall prevalence.Conclusions:The presence of bacterial STDs and the absence of HIV, HCV, and syphilis may be the result of no IDU and assortative age mixing. Testing for multiple conditions, network assessment of prevalence, and inclusion of social contacts enhance understanding of STD epidemiology.
