Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Malaria prevention is important among HIV patients to mitigate its associated complications. This study explored the predictors of insecticide-treated net (ITN) usage among HIV patients attending an antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinic in Ebonyi state, Nigeria.
UNASSIGNED: It was a cross-sectional study that involved 297 patients who attended an ART clinic in Ebonyi State. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect relevant data which included perception of malaria prevention, ownership of ITN, condition of ITN, duration of use and ITN usage. The relationship between ITN usage and other variables was assessed using bivariate analysis and the predictors were determined using multivariate logistic regression.
UNASSIGNED: There were 64 (21.5%) males and 233(78.5%) females. Knowledge of the use of ITN (mean= 4.24 ±0.93) was rated better than knowledge of the use of mosquito repellent (mean = 3.79 ± 1.21) and knowledge of the use of protective clothes (mean= 3.86 ±1.26). 246 (83%) of the study population owned ITN. Only 48% (118) of those who had ITNs reported having optimal nets (nets without holes). 135 (45.5%) of the participants reported sleeping under the net every day in the past week. There was a significant relationship between ITN usage and knowledge of the use of ITN, ownership of ITN, duration of use and condition of nets. Predictors of usage of ITN were duration of use (AOR=0.386, 95%C.I for AOR=0.224-0.665) and condition of the nets (AOR=0.399, 95%C.I for AOR=0.226-0.706).
UNASSIGNED: Perception of malaria prevention was high among the study group. Ownership of ITN was high although many of the ITNs were not in good condition. Usage of ITN was largely determined by duration of use and good condition of nets. Yearly assessment of the condition of ITNs and replacement exercise of ITNs (2-3 years) at ART clinics to replace old and worn-out nets among HIV patients are recommended.

摘要：
■预防疟疾在HIV患者中很重要，以减轻其相关并发症。这项研究探讨了在Ebonyi州参加抗逆转录病毒疗法（ART）诊所的HIV患者中使用杀虫剂处理的蚊帐（ITN）的预测因素，尼日利亚。
■这是一项横断面研究，涉及297名在Ebonyi州的ART诊所就诊的患者。使用采访者管理的问卷来收集相关数据，其中包括对疟疾预防的看法，ITN的所有权，ITN的状况，使用期限和ITN使用情况。使用双变量分析评估ITN使用与其他变量之间的关系，并使用多变量逻辑回归确定预测因子。
■男性64例（21.5%），女性233例（78.5%）。对使用ITN的知识（平均值=4.24±0.93）的评价优于对使用驱蚊剂的知识（平均值=3.79±1.21）和对使用防护服的知识（平均值=3.86±1.26）。246（83％）的研究人群拥有ITN。只有48%(118)的有驱虫蚊帐的人报告说有最佳的蚊帐(没有洞的蚊帐)。135（45.5％）的参与者报告说，在过去一周中，每天都在网下睡觉。ITN的使用与ITN的使用知识之间存在显着关系，ITN的所有权，蚊帐的使用期限和状况。使用ITN的预测因素是使用时间（AOR=0.386，95％C。AOR=0.224-0.665的I）和网的条件（AOR=0.399，95%C。I为AOR=0.226-0.706)。
■研究组对疟疾预防的认识很高。尽管许多ITN状况不佳，但ITN的所有权很高。驱虫蚊帐的使用在很大程度上取决于蚊帐的使用时间和良好状况。建议每年评估ITN的状况并在ART诊所更换ITN（2-3年），以更换艾滋病毒患者中的旧蚊帐和破旧蚊帐。
