Abstract:
Objective To explore the epidemiological characteristics of young students with HIV/AIDS in Hangzhou and to provide scientific basis for AIDS prevention and control in school settings. Methods Data on HIV/AIDS patients was collected from HIV Comprehensive Prevention and Control Information System, and retrospective survey was conducted to those who were students and whose current residential address was Hangzhou. Results A total of 132 HIV/AIDS student cases were surveyed. The average age was (21.42±2.65) years, and 98.48％ were male. The proportion of homosexual transmission was 83.33％. Before positive confirmation, 55.45％ had homosexual partners both from students and non-students, 90.91％ had temporary sexual behavior, five cases had heterosexually fixed partners and two cases had heterosexually temporary partners.The proportions of condom use in all types of sexual partners ranged from 0.00％-50.00％. Seventy-two (54.55％) HIV/AIDS student cases thought they were impossible to be infected by HIV. Only 23.48％ of cases did HIV antibody test before positive confirmation. The proportion of HARRT was 80.30％. The proportion of co-infected with syphilis was 18.03％.
