Sampling techniques and data collection based on the medical record of VCT in Anutapura Hospital by using the questionnaire. The data is processed using the univariate analysis, bivariate analysis by using chi-square, and multivariate analysis by using logistic regression analysis.
Results:
Based on bivariate analysis gained that there is a significant relationship of sexual behavior in homosexuals with HIV/AIDS in Palu City. Dependent variable is HIV/AIDS while the independent variable are the number of pairs p=0.004 (OR=12.6); Anal sex p=0.003 (OR=3.6); Oral ejaculation p=0.002 (OR=14.2); Oral sex-licking/rimming p=0.035 (OR=2.5); Fingering p=0.019 (OR=2.8); and interfemoral coitus p=0.011 (OR=3.0). Based on the modeling of multivariate logistic regression analysis obtained, dominant variables are the number of pairs, anal sex, and interfemoral coitus, so the most dominant variables are the number of pairs with OR=20.8.
