我们比较了街头吸毒者的性行为/伴侣关系，并使用卡方检验和逻辑回归按性别确定了与艾滋病毒相关的性风险相关性。男性报告的风险性行为较高，但高风险性伴侣少于女性。调整后，艾滋病毒血清阳性男性比血清阴性男性更有可能年龄更大、男男性接触者、使用安全套以及拥有感染艾滋病毒的伴侣。艾滋病毒血清呈阳性的女性更有可能年龄较大、有感染艾滋病毒的伴侣，并且不使用非注射海洛因。注射吸毒者与艾滋病毒无关。需要进行前瞻性研究来确定吸毒者中特定性别的性行为/伙伴关系如何影响艾滋病毒感染。
We compared sexual behaviors/partnerships and determined sexual risk correlates associated with HIV by gender among street-recruited drug users using chi-square tests and logistic regression. Men reported higher risk sexual behaviors, yet fewer high-risk sexual partners than women. After adjustment, HIV seropositive men were more likely than seronegatives to be older, MSM, use condoms, and have an HIV-infected partner. HIV seropositive women were more likely to be older, have an HIV-infected partner, and not use non-injected heroin. IDU was not associated with HIV. Prospective studies are needed to determine how gender-specific sexual behaviors/partnerships among drug users affect HIV acquisition.
