Abstract

Introduction: Tobacco and alcohol consumption has a significant negative impact on health of indi­ viduals living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); however, there is little research on using these substances in this specific cohort. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with the consumption of tobacco and alcohol in adult population living with HIV as well as the clinical­epidemiological characteristics of the sample. Material and methods: A cross­sectional study was carried out with 381 participants diagnosed with HIV, whose information on smoking and alcohol habits, adherence to treatments, socio­demographic data, and lifestyles were collected through both electronic and printed questionnaires. Results: The results showed that half of the individuals were smokers, with significant percentage having a moderate or high motivation to quit smoking. Moreover, it was observed that the participants classified in the group of high alcohol consumption with AUDIT test were less adherent to pharmaco­ logical treatment. On the other hand, it should be noted that 49.3% of the sample suffered from some pathology, with cardiovascular disease being the most prevalent. Conclusions: Therefore, from a clinical point of view and due to the above­mentioned reasons, it seems essential to address the consumption of tobacco and alcohol in individuals living with HIV. Along with proper health education and support offered, it can positively influence their lives in gen­ eral, and at the same time, provide better HIV control.

成人艾滋病毒感染者中烟草和酒精消费的流行率及其相关因素
烟草和酒精消费对人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者的健康有显著的负面影响;然而,在这一特定人群中使用这些物质的研究很少。本研究的目的是调查成年艾滋病毒感染者中烟草和酒精消费的流行率和相关因素,以及样本的临床流行病学特征。材料和方法:对381名被诊断患有艾滋病毒的参与者进行了一项横断面研究,通过电子和印刷问卷收集了他们关于吸烟和饮酒习惯、坚持治疗、社会人口数据和生活方式的信息。结果:结果显示,一半的个体是吸烟者,显著比例有中度或高度戒烟的动机。此外,我们还观察到,在审计测试中被划分为高饮酒量组的参与者对药物治疗的依从性较低。另一方面,值得注意的是,49.3%的样本患有某种病理,其中心血管疾病最为普遍。结论:因此,从临床角度来看,由于上述原因,解决艾滋病毒感染者的烟草和酒精消费问题似乎至关重要。在提供适当的健康教育和支持的同时,它可以对他们的生活产生积极影响,同时更好地控制艾滋病毒。
