Abstract

Background: The frequency of sexual dysfunctions reported by HIV/AIDS patients is significantly higher than that of their peers. Sexual dysfunction and its predictors may result in increased viral loads, worsening HIV infection, and infectivity. To mitigate its consequences, appropriate evaluation and intervention are required.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 336 HIV/AIDS-positive individuals at one hospital in southwest Ethiopia. To assess sexual dysfunctions, a tool called the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (CSFQ-14) was used. Data analysis was done with SPSS version 20. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were used to identify independent predictor variables, and statistical significance was declared at a p-value of <0.05.

Results: 98.53% of the sample completed the questionnaire accordingly. The frequency of SD was 72.0% (95% CI = 67.4-77.0). The frequency of SD was reported to be more prevalent among males (76.8% (95% CI = 70.6-81.6)) than that of females (66.2% (95% CI = 59.5-73.5)). Among the domains of sexual dysfunction, sexual pleasure problems (96.70%, (95% CI: 94.60-98.50)) were the higher figure of SD, and sexual desire problems (82.40%, (95% CI: 78.60-86.60)); were the least prevalent sexual dysfunctions. Predictors of the SD were age, social anxiety, nicotine use, poor sleep quality, and time of resuming ART medication.

Conclusion: The frequency of SD was 72.0%. Predictors of the SD were age, social anxiety, nicotine use, poor sleep quality, and time of resuming ART medication.

艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者性功能障碍的发生率和预测因素。

背景：艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者报告的性功能障碍频率明显高于同龄人。性功能障碍及其预测因素可能导致病毒载量增加、HIV 感染恶化和传染性。为了减轻其后果，需要进行适当的评估和干预：在埃塞俄比亚西南部的一家医院对 336 名艾滋病毒/艾滋病阳性患者进行了横断面研究。为了评估性功能障碍，使用了一种名为 "性功能变化问卷"（CSFQ-14）的工具。数据分析采用 SPSS 20 版本进行。使用双变量和多变量逻辑回归来确定独立的预测变量，并以 p 值为统计显著性：98.53%的样本如实填写了问卷。SD 发生率为 72.0%（95% CI = 67.4-77.0）。据报告，性功能障碍在男性中的发生率（76.8% (95% CI = 70.6-81.6)）高于女性（66.2% (95% CI = 59.5-73.5)）。在性功能障碍的各个领域中，性快感问题（96.70%，（95% CI：94.60-98.50））是发病率较高的性功能障碍，而性欲问题（82.40%，（95% CI：78.60-86.60））是发病率最低的性功能障碍。性功能障碍的预测因素包括年龄、社交焦虑、尼古丁使用、睡眠质量差以及恢复抗逆转录病毒疗法用药的时间：性功能障碍发生率为 72.0%。结论：性功能障碍发生率为 72.0%，年龄、社交焦虑、尼古丁使用、睡眠质量差和恢复抗逆转录病毒疗法药物治疗的时间是性功能障碍的预测因素。
