以夫妇为基础的自愿艾滋病毒咨询和检测(CVCT)的可接受性以前没有在南非的MSM中进行过调查。通过在线广告,收集了486名MSM的数据,他们年龄在18岁或以上,目前居住在南非,在过去12个月内至少有一个男性性伴侣。这项分析考察了个体特征和使用CVCT服务的意愿之间的关联。在这个样本中,主要是白人/欧洲非洲人(%)和艾滋病毒阴性(83%)的男性中,使用CVCT服务的意愿高得令人信服(%)。报告完成学年数较多的男男性接触者不太可能报告愿意使用CVCT。意愿在其他个人人口统计或行为特征上没有显著差异。我们的结果显示,绝大多数人对CVCT服务的接受度很高。未来的研究应该调查更多不同类型的MSM人群,探索同性男性关系的复杂性,以及为什么受访者愿意或不愿意使用这些艾滋病毒检测服务。
The acceptability of couples-based voluntary HIV counseling and testing (CVCT) has not been previously investigated among MSM in South Africa. Using online advertisements, data were collected from 486 MSM, who were 18 years of age or older with a current residence in South Africa and had at least one male sex partner in the previous 12 months. The analysis examined associations between individual characteristics and willingness to utilize CVCT services. The willingness to utilize CVCT services was compellingly high (89%) among this sample of mostly White/European African (89%) and HIV-negative (83%) men. MSM who reported higher numbers of completed school years were less likely to report willingness to use CVCT. Willingness did not vary significantly across other individual demographic or behavioral characteristics. Our results show an overwhelmingly high acceptance of CVCT services. Future studies should survey a more heterogeneous population of MSM, explore the complex nature of same-sex male relationships, and why respondents would or would not use these HIV testing services.
