HIV services utilization in Los Angeles County, California.

Recipients of HIV/AIDS prevention services in Los Angeles County California were surveyed in 2004 by 220 HIV prevention service provider staff from 51 agencies funded by the Office of AIDS Programs and Policy. This resulted in 2,102 usable surveys for cluster analysis purposes. This Countywide Risk Assessment Survey assessed demographics, sexual history, substance use, perceptions regarding HIV/AIDS, and use of 18 different services at both the agency administering the survey and at other agencies. The 36 types of service use data were subjected to a cluster analysis that found five clusters. These service pattern clusters differed from each other on proportion HIV positive, HIV testing history, history of abuse, education, type of residence, type of funding, intervention type, and ethnicity. The analysis also suggests that domestic violence services availability and utilization should be examined more thoroughly in the future for HIV infected/affected populations.

2004年，加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县艾滋病项目和政策办公室资助的51个机构的220名艾滋病预防服务提供者工作人员对艾滋病预防服务的接受者进行了调查。这为聚类分析提供了2102份可用的调查问卷。这项全县风险评估调查评估了人口统计学特征、性史、药物使用情况、对艾滋病的认知，以及在进行调查的机构和其他机构中18种不同服务的使用情况。对36种服务使用数据进行了聚类分析，发现了五个类别。这些服务模式类别在艾滋病病毒阳性比例、艾滋病检测史、受虐史、教育程度、居住类型、资金类型、干预类型和种族方面各不相同。分析还表明，未来应该更彻底地研究针对艾滋病病毒感染者/受影响人群的家庭暴力服务的可获得性和利用情况。
