Physical Attack

Globally, the prevalence of adolescent sexual intercourse and violence is high. However, to date, no study has investigated the association between violence and sexual behavior in a large representative sample of adolescents, while multicountry studies are also lacking. The objective was thus to examine the relationship between being physically attacked and physical fighting with sexual intercourse, multiple sexual partners, and non-condom use among adolescents aged 12 to 15 years from 43 low- and middle-income countries. Cross-sectional data from 127,513 adolescents participating in the Global School-based Student Health Survey 2003–2016 were analyzed. Data on being physically attacked and physical fighting were assessed through self-report. Data on sexual behavior were collected as follows: (a) ever having had intercourse; among those who reported having had intercourse, (b) multiple (≥2) lifetime sexual partners, and (c) condom use in last sexual intercourse. Data were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis with violence as the exposure and sexual behavior as the outcome, with odds ratios being estimated. Physical attack was dose-dependently and significantly associated with all three sexual behavior outcomes with it being associated with 1.42 (95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.16, 1.74]), 2.13 (95% CI = [1.39, 3.27]), and 1.48 (95% CI = [1.10, 2.00]) times higher odds for sexual intercourse, condom non-use, and multiple sex partners, respectively, when the highest category was compared with the lowest (i.e., ≥4 times vs. 0 times). As for physical fights, compared with not being in a fight in the past 12 months, being in a fight ≥4 times was associated with 2.34 (95% CI = [2.03, 2.70]) and 1.98 (95% CI = [1.56, 2.52]) times higher odds for sexual intercourse and multiple sex partners, respectively. In conclusion, in a large global sample of adolescents, physical attack and physical fight were associated with greater risk of engaging in sexual behavior. Multidimensional government programs and policies addressing violence in young adolescents may lead to reduction in early sexual debut and other risky sexual behavior.

SummaryThis paper makes methodological and empirical contributions to the study of HIV in the context of Botswana, a country with high HIV prevalence. Comparable evidence is presented from India to put the Botswana results in perspective. The results point to the strong role played by affluence and education in increasing HIV knowledge, promoting safe sex and reducing HIV prevalence. The study presents African evidence on the role played by the empowerment of women in promoting safe sex practices such as condom use. The lack of significant association between HIV prevalence and safe sex practice points to the danger of HIV-infected individuals spreading the disease through multiple sex partners and unprotected sex. This danger is underlined by the finding that females with multiple sex partners are at higher risk of being infected with HIV. These results take on special policy significance in the context of Botswana, where the issue of multiple sex partners has not been adequately addressed in the programme to contain the spread of HIV.

Background: The intention of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and regular clinic visits is to engender safe sex attitudes among HIV-infected individuals. However, this may not be the case due to the perceived therapeutic benefits of ART and may result in exposure to drug-resistant HIV strains. Objective: We aimed to determine the prevalence and predict the factors associated with risky sexual behaviors among ART users in a resource-limited environment. Methods: Two hundred and ninety-one sexually active ART users aged 18-50 years and seeking care at the HIV clinic in Dodoma, Tanzania, participated in this study. The outcome variables modeled in a logistic regression were condom use, multiple sex partners, casual sex partners, and payment for sex. The predictors included in the models were the patients' socio-demographic characteristics. In addition, a new variable, sexual risk scores, was generated by culminating all the outcome variables. Finally, multiple Poisson regression with the socio-demographic variables of the participants was used to model the sexual risk scores. Results: Patients reported inconsistent/no condom use (44%), payment for sex (4%), casual sex encounters (13%), multiple sex partners (21%), and STD symptoms (15%). While having a casual sexual partner was significantly associated with age group in a Pearson Chi-square (p=0.0147), participants ≤35 years old were less likely to have single-sex partners than older participants (AOR: 0.188, 95 C.I: 0.042-0.0849). Meanwhile, the likelihood of condom use was higher among participants with no HIV-infected family members (AOR= 2.409, 95% C.I:1.236,4.697) and among participants who have single-sex partners (AOR= 2.721, 95% C.I.: 1.115,6.640); these participants were less likely to report STD symptoms (AOR=0.265, 95% C.I.: 0.081-0.865). Adjusted analysis showed that estimated mean sexual risk scores significantly increased (mean, λ=1.61, 95% C.I:1.0817-2.4063) for recent ART recipients (within 1-3 years vs. ≥eight years). However, sexual risk scores of participants with HIV stage 3 were 38.8% lower than participants at stage 4 (95% C.I.: 0.3910-0.9558), and non-alcohol drinkers had an adjusted mean sexual risk score 29% lower than participants who were alcohol drinkers (95% C.I.: 0.5102-0.9879). Conclusion: Researchers should prioritize patients at HIV CTC for education concerning safe sexual practices for those characterized by alcohol consumption, younger age (less than 35 years old), HIV stage 4, or commencement of ART within three years.
