Abstract

Objective: This study assessed the condom use and sexual behaviour of older adults living with HIV/AIDS at Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study involving all adults receiving care at an HIV treatment centre that completed an interviewer administered questionnaire on their sexual behaviour and condom use. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results: A total of 186 older adults completed the study. Their mean age (SD) was 54.5 (5.6) years. There are 114 (61.3%) females and 72 (38.7%) males. Two fifth 87 (46.8%) were sexually active with over half using condom (45, 51.7%) at last sexual intercourse. The determinants of condom use at last sexual intercourse included age 50-59 years (OR=3.34, 95% CI=1.21-9.25, p=0.020), lower education (OR=3.00, 95%CI=1.04-8.69, p=0.043), being married or have a partner (OR=3.25, 95%CI=1.11-9.52, p=0.031), partner's awareness of respondents' HIV status (OR=13.00, 95%CI=4.25-39.80, p<0.0001) and stigma experience from partner (OR=11.70, 95%CI=4.03-33.99, p=0.0001).

Conclusion: Older adults engage in high-risk sexual behaviour. It is necessary to encourage safer sex practices, stigma reduction and couple HIV counseling and testing.

在尼日利亚西南部奥索博的一个治疗中心，感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的老年人的性行为和避孕套的使用。

目的：本研究评估了尼日利亚奥松州奥索博地区感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的老年人的避孕套使用和性行为。方法：一项描述性横断面研究，涉及所有在艾滋病毒治疗中心接受治疗的成年人，他们完成了一份关于性行为和避孕套使用的访谈问卷。数据分析采用描述性和推断性统计。结果：共有186名老年人完成了这项研究。平均年龄（SD）为54.5（5.6）岁。其中女性114例（61.3%），男性72例（38.7%）。五分之二（46.8%）的人性生活活跃，其中半数以上的人在最后一次性行为中使用安全套（45.7%）。最后一次性行为使用避孕套的决定因素包括：年龄50 ~ 59岁（OR=3.34, 95%CI= 1.21 ~ 9.25, p=0.020）、受教育程度较低（OR=3.00, 95%CI=1.04 ~ 8.69, p=0.043）、已婚或有伴侣（OR=3.25, 95%CI=1.11 ~ 9.52, p=0.031）、伴侣是否知晓被调查者的HIV感染状况（OR=13.00, 95%CI=4.25 ~ 39.80, p=0.031）。有必要鼓励安全性行为、减少耻辱感和夫妻艾滋病毒咨询和检测。
