- HIV and risk behaviors of persons of low socio-economic status, Popayan-Colombia (2008-2009) Hector Fabio Mueses María Virginia Pinzón Inés Constanza Tello Hernan Gilberto Rincón-Hoyos Jaime Galindo Medicina HIV adults Poverty Risk Factors Health Promotion Objective: to determine HIV presence and risk behaviors of persons of low socio-economic status in the city of Popayan- Colombia. Methods: Cross-sectional study; between 2008 and 2009, 363 participants of Popayan signed informed consent and received pre and post HIV test counseling. Socio-demographic characteristics and history of STDs, risk behaviors and previous HIV testing were assessed. Descriptive statistics, correlations and multivariate logistic regression were calculated Results: Mean age 33,5±10,2; 66%women.Frequency of HIV-positive patients was 3.86% (95% CI: 1.87-5.85), greater in men (7.38%; p=0,013). Greater frequency of HIV-positive patients was observed in people age 29-37, those without a stable partner, and those with history of risky alcohol consumption (more than five drinks in 2 hours) . Conclusions: HIV-positive patients frequency in this population was greater than national estimate for general population, aged 15-49 in Colombia, with even greater frequency in men. This study suggests that characteristics associated with low socioeconomic status, in economically active population, without a stable partner and with risky alcohol use, can potentially increase risk of HIV infection. 2013 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28325629002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28325629002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28325629002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28325629002/28325629002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28325629002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.44
