ABSTRACT
Objective:
To determine the prevalence of AIDS/HIV, sexual behavior, knowledge, and access to HIV-related services among college students in Taizhou from 2016 through 2018, and provide scientific evidence for developing targeted strategies and measures.Methods:
Based on the National HIV/AIDS Sentinel Surveillance, a cross-sectional survey was conducted annually among college students in three sentinels by a multi-stage cluster sampling across Taizhou, using questionnaire and laboratory examination.Results:
A total of 4 185 college students were surveyed during 2016–2018, in which the proportion of reporting sexual behavior was 7.7%, with 58.4% using condom at. Sexual behavior, with fixed sexual partners, casual partners, commercial partners, and homosexual partners accounted for 68.7%, 23%, 4.0%, and 4.0%, respectively. Sexual experience and sexual behavior with fixed partners were statistically different among colleges and gender, which was much higher in male and vocational schools. The awareness rate of HIV/AIDS knowledge was 65.8%; 3.6% was found to have HIV voluntary counseling and testing, in which 7.8% had sexual behavior, indicating an upward trend over years. No college student tested positive for HIV from 2016 to 2018, and only one tested positive for anti-syphilis antibody and one positive for anti-hepatitis C antibody.Conclusions:
Young male and vocational students in Taizhou are likely to have more sexual behavior and lower awareness on HIV/AIDS. College students have at-risk sexual behavior, insufficient awareness of HIV/AIDS, which may facilitate high risk of infection. It warrants further strengthening HIV/AIDS health education.
