Abstract

Background: Sexual problems are rarely addressed in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) management, even though overt sexual dysfunctions are more prevalent in people living with HIV. This study aimed to ascertain the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) among HIVinfected men in a stable clinical state, examine the relationship between antiretroviral therapy (ART) exposure and sexual dysfunction, and identify the associated risk factors.

Method: This cross-sectional study recruited HIV-positive males who visited the Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) center of Imam Khomeini Hospital (Tehran) in 2020. The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire was used to evaluate the ED in participants. Sociodemographic and clinical data were also collected.

Results: Of 65 patients who participated in this study, 27.7% had ED. The mean age of participants with and without ED was 39.4±11.5 and 40.4±7.6 years old, respectively. No significant difference was observed between patients with and without ED concerning the sociodemographic status and the use of ART drugs.

Conclusion: The prevalence of ED is relatively high among men living with HIV. Future research is recommended among HIV-positive males to identify the underlying causes and explore the potential impact that associated psychological distress could have on sexual dysfunction.

伊朗德黑兰艾滋病毒感染者中勃起功能障碍(ED)的患病率。

背景:性问题很少在人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)管理中得到解决，尽管明显的性功能障碍在艾滋病毒感染者中更为普遍。本研究旨在确定临床状态稳定的hiv感染男性勃起功能障碍(ED)的患病率，探讨抗逆转录病毒治疗暴露与性功能障碍的关系，并确定相关危险因素。方法:本横断面研究招募了2020年到伊玛目霍梅尼医院(德黑兰)自愿咨询和检测(VCT)中心就诊的hiv阳性男性。使用国际勃起功能指数(IIEF)问卷评估参与者的勃起功能障碍。还收集了社会人口学和临床数据。结果:65例患者中，27.7%患有ED，有ED和无ED的平均年龄分别为39.4±11.5岁和40.4±7.6岁。ED患者与非ED患者在社会人口学状况和ART药物使用方面无显著差异。结论:男性HIV感染者ED患病率较高。建议在hiv阳性男性中进行进一步的研究，以确定潜在的原因，并探索相关的心理困扰可能对性功能障碍产生的潜在影响。
