■各国之间存在行为差异,regions,和宗教。随着近几十年来的快速发展,越来越多的国际移民来自不同宗教的不同地区定居在中国。性行为,特别是危险的性行为,因宗教和地理区域而异的程度尚不清楚。
■我们旨在评估宗教和地理区域与国际移民性行为的关联,并为促进国际移民的性健康提供证据。
■通过互联网采用滚雪球抽样方法对中国的国际移民进行了横断面研究。在我们的研究中,危险的性行为包括有多个性伴侣和从事无保护的性行为。采用描述性分析方法分析了国际移民的基本特征以及他们的性行为,宗教信仰,地理区域的起源。具有乘法和加性相互作用的多元二元逻辑回归分析用于识别与国际移民中危险的性行为相关的宗教和地理方面。
■总共1433名国际移民被纳入研究。南美人和非宗教移民更有可能从事危险的性行为,亚洲和佛教移民不太可能从事危险的性行为。大多数穆斯林有性传播感染和艾滋病毒检测经验;然而,穆斯林将来进行这些测试的意愿很低。多变量分析显示,穆斯林(调整后的优势比[AOR]0.453,95%CI0.228-0.897),印度教(AOR0.280,95%CI0.082-0.961),和佛教徒(AOR0.097,95%CI0.012-0.811)移民不太可能报告从事无保护的性行为。佛教移民(AOR0.292,95%CI0.086-0.990)也不太可能有多个性伴侣。关于地理,与亚洲人相比,南美人(AOR2.642,95%CI1.034-6.755),欧洲人(AOR2.310,95%CI1.022-5.221),和北非人(AOR3.524,95%CI1.104-11.248)有多个性伴侣的概率较高.
居住在中国的国际移民的危险性行为的比率因其宗教和地理来源地区而异。南美人和非宗教移民更有可能从事危险的性行为。有必要推动措施,包括艾滋病毒自我检测,暴露前预防实施,有针对性的性健康教育,在中国的国际移民中。
UNASSIGNED: Behavioral differences exist between countries, regions, and religions. With rapid development in recent decades, an increasing number of international immigrants from different regions with different religions have settled in China. The degrees to which sexual behaviors-particularly risky sexual behaviors-differ by religion and geographical areas are not known.
UNASSIGNED: We aim to estimate the associations of religion and geographical areas with sexual behaviors of international immigrants and provide evidence for promoting the sexual health of international immigrants.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional
study was conducted via the internet with a snowball sampling method among international immigrants in China. In our
study, risky sexual behaviors included having multiple sexual partners and engaging in unprotected sex. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the basic characteristics of international immigrants as well as their sexual behaviors, religious affiliations, and geographical regions of origin. Multivariate binary logistic regression analyses with multiplicative and additive interactions were used to identify aspects of religion and
geography that were associated with risky sexual behaviors among international immigrants.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 1433 international immigrants were included in the
study. South Americans and nonreligious immigrants were more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, and Asian and Buddhist immigrants were less likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors. The majority of the Muslims had sexually transmitted infection and HIV testing experiences; however, Muslims had a low willingness to do these tests in the future. The multivariate analysis showed that Muslim (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.453, 95% CI 0.228-0.897), Hindu (AOR 0.280, 95% CI 0.082-0.961), and Buddhist (AOR 0.097, 95% CI 0.012-0.811) immigrants were less likely to report engaging in unprotected sexual behaviors. Buddhist immigrants (AOR 0.292, 95% CI 0.086-0.990) were also less likely to have multiple sexual partners. With regard to
geography, compared to Asians, South Americans (AOR 2.642, 95% CI 1.034-6.755), Europeans (AOR 2.310, 95% CI 1.022-5.221), and North Africans (AOR 3.524, 95% CI 1.104-11.248) had a higher probability of having multiple sexual partners.
UNASSIGNED: The rates of risky sexual behaviors among international immigrants living in China differed depending on their religions and geographical areas of origin. South Americans and nonreligious immigrants were more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors. It is necessary to promote measures, including HIV self-testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis implementation, and targeted sexual health education, among international immigrants in China.
