本文的目的是确定与泰国跨境移民使用艾滋病毒检测相关的因素。测试了两种脆弱性衡量标准（社会融合和法律/经济地位）以及艾滋病毒知识、风险行为和人口因素与艾滋病毒检测的关联性。数据来自对泰国多个省份 2600 名 15-59 岁性活跃移民的调查。社会融合指标（AOR = 1.14（95 % CI 1.09，1.20）女性；AOR = 1.12（95 % CI 1.05，1.19）男性）和合法收入状况（AOR = 1.12（95 % CI 1.07，1.18）女性；AOR = 1.31（95 % CI 1.20， 1.42) 男性) 与男性和女性移民报告艾滋病毒检测的几率呈正相关。接触艾滋病规划，包括参加艾滋病会议和掌握艾滋病知识也与艾滋病毒检测的增加有关。此外，包括危险性行为和分娩在内的生殖健康因素也增加了艾滋病毒检测率。
The objective of this paper was to identify factors related to the use of HIV testing among cross border migrants in Thailand. Two measures of vulnerability (social integration and legal/economic status) as well as HIV knowledge, risk behaviour, and demographic factors were tested for association with HIV testing. Data were drawn from a survey of 2600 sexually active migrants age 15-59 in multiple provinces of Thailand. The measures of social integration (AOR = 1.14(95 % CI 1.09, 1.20) female; AOR = 1.12 (95 %CI 1.05, 1.19) male) and legal-income status (AOR = 1.12 (95 % CI 1.07, 1.18) female; AOR = 1.31 (95 %CI 1.20, 1.42) male) were positively related to the odds of reporting an HIV test for both male and female migrants. Exposure to AIDS programming including attending an AIDS meeting and possessing AIDS knowledge was also related to an increase in HIV testing. In addition, reproductive health factors including sexual risk behavior and childbirth increased the rate of HIV testing.
