Abstract

Abstract Introduction Disclosure of HIV status has been proven to be useful for prevention and care of PLWHIV. Methods A comparative cross sectional study among 300 PLWHIV who are peer support group users and non support group users. Results Voluntary disclosure rates to members of one’s social network in peer support and non-peer support group members was found to be 124 (82.7%) and 117 (78.0%) respectively. Voluntary disclosure to current sexual partners was higher in PLWHIV who were not members of peer support groups. For peer support group members, their main motivator for disclosure was to receive support while for those who were not members, it was to prevent spread of infection. The preferred method of disclosure to sexual partners in both groups was the passive notification method Conclusion The pattern of HIV status disclosure differed in participants in both groups. Therefore, when facilitating disclosure this should be taken into consideration.

尼日利亚埃努古市HIV感染者在同伴支持和非支持群体中HIV状况披露模式的比较研究

艾滋病病毒感染状况的披露已被证明对艾滋病病毒的预防和护理是有用的。方法采用横断面对比研究方法，对300名使用同伴支持小组和不使用同伴支持小组的艾滋病患者进行调查。结果在同伴支持小组和非同伴支持小组中，对社交网络成员的自愿披露率分别为124(82.7%)和117(78.0%)。非同伴支持小组成员的艾滋病毒感染者对现有性伴侣的自愿披露率更高。对于同伴支持小组的成员来说，他们的主要动机是获得支持，而对于那些不是成员的人来说，他们的主要动机是防止感染的传播。两组被试对性伴侣的披露方式均以被动告知为主。结论两组被试的HIV状态披露方式存在差异。因此，在促进披露时应考虑到这一点。
