摘要
背景:社交网络策略(SNS)假设同一社会中的人们具有相似的HIV风险。方法:本研究评估社交媒体对15-24岁年轻男男性行为者(YMSM)和跨性别女性(YTGW) HIV检测的促进作用。“招聘人员”将他们的“网络成员”(NMs)介绍给诊所。为护士提供艾滋病毒检测。分析首次检测HIV的比例和NMs的数量。结果:在2021年4月至2022年3月期间，83名招聘人员推荐了202个NMs。NMs的中位年龄为19岁(IQR 17-20)， 62%为YMSM。124名NMs(61%)是首次进行HIV检测。YTGW招聘了更多的经理(5.4 vs 1.4, p = 0.002)。HIV患病率为3.0% (95% CI 1.1-6.4)。有艾滋病毒风险的NMs中有31.3%开始口服艾滋病毒暴露前预防。结论:社交网络是接触艾滋病毒感染高危青少年的良好策略。半数以上的女性是第一次接受艾滋病毒检测。
Social Network Strategy to Promote HIV Testing and Linkage to HIV Services among Young men who Have sex with men and Transgender Women in Thailand.
Background: Social network strategies (SNS) assumes that people in the same social share similar HIV risk. Methods: This study evaluated SNS to promote HIV testing of young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and transgender women (YTGW) aged 15-24 years. "Recruiters" referred their 'network members' (NMs) to clinic. NMs were provided HIV testing. Proportions of first-time HIV testers and number of NMs were analyzed. Results: Between April 2021 to March 2022, 83 recruiters referred 202 NMs. Median age of NMs was 19 years (IQR 17-20), 62% were YMSM. One-hundred-and-twenty-four NMs (61%) were first-time HIV testers. YTGW recruited more NMs per recruiter (5.4 vs 1.4, p = 0.002). HIV prevalence was 3.0% (95% CI 1.1-6.4). Thirty-one-point-three percent of NMs at HIV risk initiated oral HIV preexposure prophylaxis. Conclusions: SNS is a good strategy to reach adolescents at risk of HIV infection. More than half of NMs were first-time HIV testers.
