HIV serodisclosure to sexual partners is an important aspect of HIV prevention, treatment, and care. We investigated the association between partnership duration and serodisclosure among HIV-infected individuals in Lilongwe, Malawi. We analyzed data from a cross-sectional study of individuals attending one of two antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinics in Lilongwe. Clients aged 18–45 years and sexually active within the past six months were eligible. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between partnership duration ≤1 year and serodisclosure. Five hundred and sixty-two participants completed the survey: 308 (55%) women and 254 (45%) men. Median age was 35 years (IQR 30–40), 90% were married, 88% were on ART, and 95% had serodisclosed to their partner. Marital status, knowledge of partner serostatus, and ART use were significantly associated with serodisclosure. Participants in a relationship for ≤1 year were significantly less likely to disclose their serostatus to their partners compared to those in a relationship for >1 year (OR = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.58). Couple-based interventions that encourage serodisclosure among partners within their first year of relationship should be developed to decrease HIV transmission, encourage treatment and support.

Activity Information

Abstract Background For comprehensive care, it is recommended that people living with HIV who are sexually active have annual multisite testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Appropriate testing is defined by testing at all sites of sexual exposure (urogenital, pharyngeal, rectal). In the first year of 3 site testing at our HIV clinic, we aimed to describe (1) the rate of appropriate sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, (2) the factors associated with STI diagnosis, and (3) the percentage of extragenital STIs that would have been missed with only urogenital testing. Methods Participants were > 14 years old with > 1 in-person medical visit at the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clinic in 2019. We collected demographics, reported sexual activity, and STI test dates and results. Controlling for number of sites tested, a log-binomial model was used to estimate the association of different characteristics with an STI diagnosis. Results For this cohort (n=857; Table 1), 44% reported sexual activity, 34% reported no sexual activity and 22% had no sexual activity information recorded. Of 1185 STI tests performed for 491 participants, 51 STIs were diagnosed in 33 participants. One STI was diagnosed for a female (0.7%). Overall, 68% (253/375) received appropriate urogenital testing, 63% (85/134) received appropriate pharyngeal testing and 69% (72/105) received appropriate rectal testing. For male participants with > 1 STI test (n=347), Hispanic ethnicity was associated with an STI diagnosis (Table 2). Of those with concurrent extragenital and urogenital tests, 96% of people with an STI (n=26) were positive at only an extragenital site. Table 1: Study Participants’ Characteristics Table 2: Factors Associated with Being Diagnosed With a Sexually Transmitted Infection for Men Living With HIV: Frequencies and Results of Univariable and Multivariable Log-binomial Model Conclusion Nearly a quarter of participants had no sexual activity information recorded in the year, which is an area for improvement. Despite newly adopting 3 site testing, appropriate extragenital and urogenital testing rates were similar and were high compared with national averages. There was no obvious clinician/patient bias against extragenital testing. Hispanic male participants’ higher STI diagnosis rate may point to more condomless sex in this population. Based on the identification of many infections exclusively at extragenital sites, we likely missed STIs previously. This highlights the importance of 3 site testing availability and testing at all appropriate sites. Disclosures Kathleen A.

Background : Giving stigma toward people who live with HIV/AIDS is not only can befound on common people who live in society but also among health workers. It isunbelievable if health workers whose education background is health will do the samething toward people living with HIV/AIDS. Thus, it is necessary to have some strategies toprepare nursing students in order to reduce the discrimination which happen in healthservices facilities by health workers. Hence, the prevention efforts of HIV/AIDS cases inIndonesia can optimally be implemented.The purpose of this study : was to analyze the diversity of stigma level toward peopleliving with HIV/AIDS between the first year students and the third year students in PantiKosala Nursing Academy.This research used analytic with comparative design. The total population involved in thisresearch were 150 students of Panti Kosala Nursing Academy which was then dividedinto two groups. Group number one was consisted of 75 students from grade one andgroup number two was consisted of 75 students from grade three. Random sampling wasused as a sampling technic. Data was collected by using questionnaire. The data wasthen analyzed using Mann-Whitney aided by SPSS serial 16.There were three main results of this study : 1) The majority of first year students havehigh level of stigma toward people living with HIV/AIDS accounted for 57,33%. 2)Themajority of third year students have high level of stigma toward people living wthHIV/AIDS accounted for 53,33%. 3)The analysis of Mann-Whitney shows significancynumber p>0,721. It can be concluded that the stigma toward people living with HIV/AIDSof first year students as same as with the one of third year students.Keywords: stigma, people living with HIV/AIDS, nursing students
