撒哈拉以南非洲地区艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的吸烟行为记录很少。我们采用横断面研究设计来评估尼日利亚北部 HIV 感染者 (n = 296) 吸烟的流行率和预测因素。大约四分之一的受访者是当前吸烟者（7.8%）或戒烟者（17.9%）。感染艾滋病毒的女性吸烟率极低。感染艾滋病毒的男性吸烟的可能性至少是感染艾滋病毒的女性的三倍：调整后的比值比 (AOR) 3.16，95% 置信区间 (95% CI) 2.17-7.32。与未受过正规教育的患者相比，受过高等教育的患者吸烟的可能性至少是其两倍（AOR 2.63，95% Cl 1.08-6.67）。尼日利亚北部受过教育的艾滋病毒感染男性中吸烟者占绝大多数，这为有针对性的戒烟计划提供了独特的机会。
The smoking behaviour of persons living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa is poorly documented. We employed a cross-sectional study design to assess the prevalence and predictors of tobacco smoking among HIV-infected patients in northern Nigeria (n = 296). Approximately one quarter of respondents were either current (7.8%) or ex-smokers (17.9%). Smoking rates among HIV-infected women were extremely low. HIV-infected men were at least three times as likely to smoke as their female counterparts living with HIV: adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 3.16, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.17-7.32. Patients with tertiary education were at least twice as likely to smoke compared with their counterparts without formal education (AOR 2.63, 95% Cl 1.08-6.67). The preponderance of cigarette smoking among educated HIV-infected men in northern Nigeria offers a unique opportunity for targeted smoking cessation programmes.
