Abstract：Objective To explore the risk factors associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among old people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Shaoyang City, and to provide theoretical support for formulating policies regarding HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment among the elderly. Methods In this case-control study, an anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain the information about demographic and behavior data of the case group and the control group. Chi-square test and Logistic regression model were used to analyze the risk factors.Results A total of 199 valid questionnaires were collected from the case group (n=91) and the control group (n=108). The average age of the case group was 67.8 years. As regards the occupation, farmers and migrant workers accounted for 70.3%. 80.2% reached the educational level of primary school and junior high school. The male to female sex ratio was 4.7:1. As for the general demography, no statistically significant differences were found in age, gender, occupation and educational level between the case group and the control group(all P>0.05). In regard to the praxiology, there were statistically significant differences in commercial sexual behavior, non-commercial sexual behavior, condom use, multiple sexual partners, hepatitis, tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases between the two groups(all P<0.05). Risk factors which entered the multivariate logistic regression analysis at last included living alone (OR=9.23), commercial sexual behavior (OR=8.07), sexually transmitted diseases (OR=7.03) and the number of sexual partners ≥ 3 (OR=6.33). Conclusions Living alone, multiple sexual partners, unsafe commercial sexual behavior and suffering from sexually transmitted diseases are the risk factors of HIV infection among the elderly in Shaoyang City; and hence, it is necessary to take the targeted intervention measures to protect the health of the elderly.
