简介:摘要目的了解包头市女性性服务工作者STD/AIDS知识及安全套使用情况,为此类人群预防和控制STD/AIDS提供理论依据。方法于2010年12月—2011年12月成立由问卷调查人员及临床医师组成的调查小组,对包头市女性性服务工作者集中的场所(发廊、桑拿、足浴城、歌舞厅等娱乐场所),年龄在18-40岁能够并愿意签署口头/书面知情同意书的女性性服务工作者开展调查。结果本次共调查女性性服务工作者247名,平均年龄22.51±3.51岁,安全套使用率21.4%。STDs/HIV知识知晓率92.3%,获取AIDS/STDs知识途径依次为通过同伴,广播电视,报刊,通过医务人员,网络。结论本次调查247名女性性服务工作者安全套的使用率较低,在实际工作中应根据不同情况有针对性地干预,进而提高该人群对安全套接受程度和正确使用率。
