Abstract: Objective: To understand the demographic characteristics of HIV/AIDS cases among dermatological and sexually transmitted disease(STD) clinic attendees, and to provide reference for the formulation of HIV screening strategies. Methods: The data of HIV/AIDS cases from March 2018 to October 2023 in a dermatological hospital was collected, and their demographic characteristics, concomitant diseases and detection methods were analyzed through the frequency and general descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Among the 82 HIV-infected/AIDS patients, 80 were male and 2 were female, aged from 17 to 71 years old, with an average age of 37.40±12.28 years old, and 55 cases were single, and 56 had a college education or above. There were 48 cases in other cities of the province and 12 cases in other provinces, and 60 were from other cities. Seventy-six were men who had sex with men, 56 patients were identified by visiting for skin symptoms, 26 were identified by active physical examination due to high-risk sexual behavior or had STDs, 71 were identified in STD clinic. Conclusion: The features of HIV/AIDS cases in dermatological and STD clinic attendees are male, sexually active, single, with low education level, and non-native. HIV screening among clinic attendees with high risk sexual behaviors and skin or STD symptoms should be strengthened.
