Abstract:   (453 Views)
Introduction: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a common mental health condition characterized by pervasive instability in mood, behavior, relationships, and self-image, often leading to crises such as high-risk sexual behaviors. This study aimed to examine high-risk sexual behaviors among female BPD patients referred to Iran Psychiatric Hospital from 2019 to 2020 and compare their sexual risk profiles with those of non-BPD individuals accompanying them. Materials and Methods: Personality and comorbid psychiatric disorders were assessed using the SCID-II and SCID-I questionnaires, while BPD severity was measured over time with the BEST questionnaire. Sexual risk profiles were evaluated using the Sexual Addiction Screening Test-Revised (SAST-R), the Sexual Risk Survey (SRS), and the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS). Descriptive statistics were reported using central tendency indices. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed between the BPD and control groups in factors such as age, marital status, occupation, education level, history of psychiatric treatment, and the most common psychiatric comorbidities. Significant differences were also detected in all YRBSS, BEST, and SRS items, as well as in most SAST-R items. Conclusion: Women with BPD exhibited significantly higher rates of high-risk sexual behaviors compared to the control group. Those with severe BPD were particularly vulnerable to HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, pointing to the need for targeted preventive measures.
