Abstract

This study was designed to determine the rate of alcohol related-problems in patients with HIV/ AIDS and its association with high risk sexual behavior. A consecutive sample of 120 patients with HIV/AIDS attending the Medical Out-patient Department (M.O.P.D) in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (A.B.U.T.H), Zaria was assessed. All participants were screened for alcohol related problems using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). High risk sexual behavior was assessed using the HIV Risk-taking Behavior Questionnaire (HRBQ). Alcohol-related problems were found in 28.3% of participants (10% had hazardous use, 3.3% had harmful use and 15% had alcohol dependence). There was a significant association between alcohol-related problems and risky sexual behavior. Alcohol-related problems are fairly common in people already infected with HIV/AIDS and are associated with high-risk sexual behavior. Thus, screening and treatment should be part of an effective HIV intervention program. Key Words: Alcohol related problems, high-risk sexual behavior, hazardous use, harmful use, alcohol dependence

尼日利亚一所大学教学医院门诊艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的酒精相关问题和高风险性行为

本研究旨在确定艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者中酒精相关问题的发生率及其与高危性行为的关系。对在扎里亚Ahmadu Bello大学教学医院门诊部(M.O.P.D)连续就诊的120名艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者进行了评估。使用酒精使用障碍识别测试(AUDIT)对所有参与者进行酒精相关问题筛查。高危性行为采用HIV风险行为问卷(HRBQ)进行评估。28.3%的参与者存在酒精相关问题(10%有害使用，3.3%有害使用，15%酒精依赖)。与酒精有关的问题和危险的性行为之间有显著的联系。与酒精有关的问题在已经感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人群中相当普遍，并且与高风险的性行为有关。因此，筛查和治疗应该是有效的艾滋病毒干预计划的一部分。关键词:酒精相关问题，高危性行为，危险使用，有害使用，酒精依赖
