AB OBJECTIVE: To assess regional HIV-1 seroprevalence and associated risk
factors among gay/bi men attending STD clinics in California. METHODS:
Using standardized protocols developed by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, we tested unlinked serum specimens from 9,776
gay/bi men attending 23 STD clinics of California's 61 local health
jurisdictions between 1989 and 1992. We analyzed risk factors for HIV-1
using logistic regression and trends in HIV-1 seroprevalence using X2
test for linear trend. RESULTS: TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. Using
white gay/bi men as the reference group, the odds for HIV-1 infection
was highest among African American men (OR = 1.7 95% CI 1.5-2.0). Using
California Valley as the reference group, the odds for HIV-1 infection
was highest in San Diego (OR = 2.7 95% CI 2.1-3.4), San Francisco (OR =
2.6 95% CI 2.2-3.2), Los Angeles (OR = 2.0 95% CI 1.7-2.4), and Central
Coast (OR = 1.7 95% CI 1.3-2.2). Factors associated with HIV-1 infection
included age over 25 years (OR = 2.2 95% CI 2.0-2.5), and history of
injection drug use since 1978 (OR = 1.5 95% CI 1.3-1.7). CONCLUSION:
HIV-1 seroprevalence declined for gay/bi men in STD clinics in
California. Regionally, gay/bi men attending STD clinics in San Diego,
San Francisco, and Los Angeles were more likely to be HIV-1 infected.
Regional information is valuable for prevention efforts in local
communities.
