在对性行为活跃的年轻女性进行的一项关于阴道杀微生物剂可接受性的多点研究中,定量评估显示不同地点的可接受性存在显著差异。波多黎各的参与者在喜欢这种凝胶和未来使用的可能性方面比美国大陆的参与者给出了更好的评价。为了解释这些差异,我们检查了对定性行为评估的反应。美国大陆的年轻女性将凝胶渗漏与月经期间的不适感觉联系在一起,而波多黎各的年轻女性则将凝胶使用与冲洗联系在一起。这些消极或积极的关联影响了对凝胶物理性质的评估。此外,年轻女性对主要伴侣支持使用杀微生物剂的看法影响了对凝胶的性满意度,并最终影响了产品的可接受性。最后,地理上的艾滋病毒风险背景有助于提高艾滋病毒风险认知,这影响了未来使用杀微生物剂的可能性,即使是在规定的一夫一妻制关系中的妇女也是如此。未来的杀微生物剂可接受性研究应考虑到不同地点在可接受性方面的潜在差异,例如基于当地艾滋病毒流行情况的艾滋病毒风险认知、特定地区阴道卫生产品的受欢迎程度,以及不同文化中男性对妇女使用艾滋病毒保护战略的态度。
In a multi-site study of vaginal microbicide acceptability conducted with sexually active young women, quantitative assessments revealed significant differences in acceptability by site. Participants in Puerto Rico rated the gel more favourably than mainland US participants in terms of liking the gel and likelihood of future use. To explain these differences, we examined responses to qualitative behavioural assessments. Young women in the mainland USA associated gel leakage with uncomfortable sensations experienced during menstruation, while young women in Puerto Rico had positive associations of gel use with douching. These negative or positive associations affected assessments of the gel’s physical qualities. In addition, young women’s perceptions of primary partners’ support for microbicide use influenced sexual satisfaction with the gel and, ultimately, product acceptability. Finally, geographic HIV risk context contributed to heightened HIV risk perception, which influenced likelihood of future microbicide use, even for women in stated monogamous relationships. Future microbicide acceptability studies should take into account potential differences in acceptability by site such as HIV risk perception based on local HIV prevalence, popularity of vaginal hygiene products in a specific area, and male attitudes in different cultures concerning women’s use of HIV protection strategies.
