接触感染艾滋病毒风险最大的人群，对于防治这一流行病的努力至关重要。本文介绍了地方艾滋病控制工作的优先事项（PLACE）方法，重点是了解人们遇到新性伴侣的场所和使人们处于危险之中的行为。将在赞比亚进行的两项地方研究的数据与一项全国家庭调查（2005年赞比亚性行为调查）的数据进行比较，结果表明，地方人口感染艾滋病毒的风险更大。两项PLACE研究中的受访者在过去4周内报告1+新伴侣、在过去12个月内报告2+伴侣、在过去12个月内报告1+新伴侣和交易性行为的可能性明显更高。PLACE方法的数据对于针对那些最有可能获得和传播艾滋病毒的人的干预措施非常重要。
Reaching populations at greatest risk for acquiring HIV is essential for efforts to combat the epidemic. This paper presents, the Priorities for Local AIDS Control Efforts (PLACE) method which focuses on understanding the venues where people are meeting new sexual partners and behaviors which put people at risk. A comparison of data from two PLACE studies in Zambia with a national household survey, the Zambia Sexual Behavior Survey 2005, indicated that the PLACE population was at greater risk of acquiring HIV. Respondents in the two PLACE studies were significantly more likely to report 1+ new partners in the past 4 weeks, 2+ partners in the past 12 months, 1+ new partner in the past 12 months and transactional sex. Data from the PLACE method is important for targeting interventions for those most likely to acquire and transmit HIV.
