| contents | HIV sexual risk behaviors in youth 15-24 years of age in Cali, Colombia: Do differences exist among neighborhoods? Sandra L Girón Hannia Palacio Julio C Mateus Medicina HIV sexual behaviors and sexual partners Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Introduction: HIV/AIDS is a global health priority. About 40% of new infections occur among heterosexual youth by means of sexual con- tact. In Cali, comune 13, 15 and 20 account for 11.5% of the prevalent cases and 18.0 % of incident cases. Objective: To establish any differences in risk behaviors for HIV among young people 15-24 yrs of age from two areas of Cali, Colom- bia. Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study among young people between 15 and 24 years of age in these comunes. The selection was done with a two-stage probability sampling. We estimated the preva- lence of sexual relationships without condom usage, sex with multiple partners, and sex under the effects of alcohol and through logistical regression we identified the related factors. Results: In comunes 13, 15 and 20, the prevalence of unprotected se- xual relationships in the last 12 months and the prevalence of sex with two or more partners was 70%; and 38% of young people had sex un- der the effects of alcohol. In both areas, the intention was positively related to the risk behaviors. We found socio-demographic factors, intentions, and beliefs that increase the opportunity to display these behaviors. The effect of these factors differs by comune. Conclusions: We observed a high prevalence of risk behaviors for HIV related to socio-demographic factors, intentions and beliefs that warrant interventions appropriate for local realities. 2013 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28327007002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28327007002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28327007002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28327007002/28327007002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28327007002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.44 |
