摘要
ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to understand the rate of intention to undergo HIV testing and associated factors among women in a city with high HIV prevalence. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 293 women HIV/AIDS patients who were newly examined with HIV infection and aged 18years from September to December 2012. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors associated with intention to undergo HIV testing. ResultsThe rate of intention to undergo HIV testing was 12.3%. Nearly 90% of participants had no intention of getting HIV tested, and the main reasons were Never thought I would be HIV-infected (78.2%) and I did not feel sick, and it was impossible to be HIV-infected (19.8%). The awareness rate of HIV knowledge was 67.8%, and 34.1% had casual heterosexual partners. Those who had casual heterosexual partners or had better HIV knowledge were more likely to have intention of getting HIV tested. ConclusionThe rate of intention to undergo HIV testing among women is low. AIDS health education programmess and public information campaigns should be initiated to improve knowledge about HIV and the risk of HIV infection, to encourage women to take HIV testing more promptly. It is also vital to take measures to reduce stigma against AIDS patients.
