目的：探讨北加州华裔/美籍华人大学生的伴侣沟通和关系状况对 HIV 检测的作用。方法：我们采用横断面研究设计进行焦点小组讨论和在线或纸笔问卷调查（N = 230）。结果：大多数 (60%) 的受访者处于忠诚的伙伴关系中，21% 的受访者处于临时的伙伴关系中。不到三分之一 (30%) 的受访者曾经接受过 HIV 检测。 HIV检测史与人际关系状况和伴侣沟通有关。结论：需要采取干预措施来提高伴侣的沟通技巧，同时考虑到该人群及其伴侣的社会文化因素。
Objectives: To explore the role of partner communication and relationship status on HIV testing among Chinese/Chinese American college students in northern California. Methods: We used a cross-sectional study design to conduct focus groups and an online or paper-pencil questionnaire (N=230). Results: The majority (60%) of respondents were in committed partnerships, with 21% in casual partnerships. Less than one third (30%) of respondents had ever obtained an HIV test. History of HIV tested was associated with relationship status and partner communication. Conclusions: Interventions to increase partner communication skills while taking into account sociocultural factors among this population and their partners are needed.
