Using Logistic regression with generalized estimating equations, factors associated with sexual activity and unprotected sex were examined.</p><p>Over the first three years of ART, the proportion sexually active did not change at ~52% (χ2 Trend, p=0.94) while the proportion reporting unprotected sex decreased (χ2 Trend, p<0.0001). Men reported unprotected sex less often than women (p<0.0001). In all analyses, having no children and female gender (controlling for any other factors) was associated with the practice of unprotected sex.</p><p>The interventional effect of comprehensive HIV care resulted in marked reductions in unprotected sex particularly among men. Strengthening of positive prevention interventions, especially among females are needed in ART programs in this setting.</p> 2009-05-13 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1238766514 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1238766514 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
