Sprit och aids går bra ihop

Läser senaste AfroAIDSinfo som jag fått på webben. Särskilt intressanta är följande rader:

Research conducted in southern Africa therefore confirms an association between alcohol use and sexual risks for HIV.

Studies in Tanzania and Kenya have reported higher rates of sexual risks among people who use alcohol, compared with nondrinkers.

A research study conducted in Atteridgeville among persons aged 25-44 years found a significant positive association between various measures of alcohol use and having multiple sexual partners or sexual relations that are regretted in the past 3 months.

Research in Uganda showed that the risks of HIV infection when one or both partners consumed alcohol before sex, were increased - not surprising since alcohol use was significantly associated with inconsistent condom use and multiple sexual partners in both sexes.


Återigen bekräftat att man inte ska glömma alkoholens roll när man ska förhindra fortsatt spridning av aidsepidemin.
