Investigation on condom use and its relative influencing factors among families with single-positive HIV infection

Objective To investigate the situation of condom use and its relative influencing factors among families with single-positive HIV infection.Methods Face to face questionnaire survey including demographic data,AIDS related knowledge and behavior,and situation of condom use was conducted to investigate relative message on single-positive HIV infected families in Henan,Yunnan,Guangxi and Sichuan Province.AIDS prevention and control data information system was used to collect data on transmission.Results There were 770 HIV single-positive couples in all,and the rate of condom use increased after knowing knowledge about infections.89.4% of single-positive families increased the use of condom,and 65.7% people who living with HIV/AIDS(PLHIV) patients used condoms every time they conducted sexual behavior with their spouses.Multiple unconditional Logistic regression showed that Yi People(OR=281.535,95% CI:102.266-775.060),high sex behavior frequency(OR=1.606,95% CI:1.090-2.365),high education(OR=0.610,95% CI:0.416-0.894),and no child(OR=0.287,95% CI:0.140-0.590) were associated with condom use.Conclusions HIV single-positive families' educational level should be enhanced,and interventional work among Yi People should also be strengthened in order to increase condom use rate and finally prevent spousal transmission.
