Abstract

Abstract We tested the applicability of syndemic theory to men who have sex with men (MSM) in Taiwan. Of 200 MSM (mean age = 27.1 years) surveyed, the majority (54%) experienced at least one syndemic burden due to problem drug use, intimate partner violence, or HIV stigma. In multivariable analysis, MSM with one or more syndemic burdens had greater than threefold higher odds of being HIV-positive. The impact of co-occurring psychosocial health conditions on HIV infection among MSM in Taiwan indicates the importance of identifying and engaging HIV-positive MSM in effective treatment, and implementing interventions more broadly to decrease syndemic burden.
台湾男性性行为人群的综合征因素与HIV感染
摘要我们检验了综合征理论在台湾男男性行为者(MSM)中的适用性。200名男男性行为者(平均年龄 = 27.1年),大多数人(54%)至少经历过一次由于问题药物使用、亲密伴侣暴力或艾滋病毒污名化而造成的综合征负担。在多变量分析中,有一种或多种综合征负担的男男性行为者HIV阳性的几率高出三倍以上。台湾男男性行为者同时发生的心理社会健康状况对艾滋病毒感染的影响表明,识别和参与艾滋病毒阳性男男性行为者进行有效治疗,并更广泛地实施干预措施以减少综合征负担的重要性。
