HIV risk and factors associated with use of novel prevention interventions among female students at Makerere University

A cross-sectional study; data was collected using an online self-administered questionnaire shared via email and social media (WhatsApp). Participants were selected from the 10 colleges of Makerere University using quota sampling. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, sexual behaviors, and use of HIV self-testing, pre-or post-exposure prophylaxis was collected. Data was collated in Google spreadsheets, cleaned in Microsoft Excel, and analyzed using STATA 14. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize HIV risk and logistic regression to evaluate factors associated with the use of novel prevention interventions and to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals.本研究为横断面研究（cross-sectional study），通过电子邮件及社交媒体（WhatsApp）分发的线上自行填写问卷收集数据。研究对象采用配额抽样法从马凯雷雷大学（Makerere University）的10所学院中选取。本研究收集了涵盖研究对象社会人口学特征（socio-demographic characteristics）、性行为情况、HIV自我检测使用情况以及暴露前与暴露后预防用药（pre-exposure prophylaxis/post-exposure prophylaxis）使用情况的相关数据。数据首先在谷歌表格（Google spreadsheets）中完成整合，随后使用微软Excel（Microsoft Excel）进行数据清洗，最终采用STATA 14软件开展统计分析。本研究采用描述性统计（descriptive statistics）方法刻画HIV感染风险特征，并通过逻辑回归（logistic regression）模型评估与新型预防干预措施使用相关的影响因素，同时估算比值比（odds ratios）及95%置信区间（95% confidence intervals）。
